The Associated Press' misleading headline leads to an nontroversy adeptly handled by the FL Gov. Ron DeSanits' team.
Late last week, the Associated Press ran a fact check related to the claim that Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis requires all female student-athletes in the state to provide detailed information about their periods to compete in organized sports.AP’S ASSESSMENT: False. The Florida High School Athletic Association is weighing the recommendation from an advisory committee, but no final decision has been made.
Ryan Harrison, the association’s spokesperson, confirmed the new recommendations were developed by its sports medicine advisory committee and approved in late January. It will now be considered by the association board of directors at its next meeting in Gainesville from Feb. 26-27. A brouhaha broke out on social media once the story was published, not helped by the exceedingly misleading headline associated with the article:[Note: The words “Fact Check” might have been useful in the title, not just in the URL].
Many DeSantis haters went into full drama mode on social media. American Federation of Teachers president Randi Weingarten practically choked on the pearls she clutches so tight. This is dystopian. And creepy. And government intrusion. Forcing girls to detail their menstruation to their schools, to the state, should scare everyone.
