The Temecula school board voted Tuesday, Aug. 26, to table a policy that would have required students to seek special accommodations if they don't want to share a locker room or restroom with transgender classmates. The board voted 4-1 to table two policies that would have set a requirement for written requests seeking mental health or religious exemptions if to avoid sharing facilities with trans students. Board President Melinda Anderson and members Emil Barham, Steven Schwartz and Jen Wiersma voted to table the policy.
Dortmund managing director Lars Ricken would not comment on the nature of the discussion when asked Sunday, but told Sky TV there would be consequences. "I wasn't present for the talk," Ricken, who announced that only players, coaches and officials would have access to the locker room areas in future, said. "We'll ensure that we don't get into a furor again by commenting on such matters."
Borussia Dortmund managing director Lars Ricken has confirmed an "emotional" conversation took place between sporting director Sebastian Kehl and Jobe Bellingham's father, Mark, following Saturday's draw with St. Pauli. Dortmund's Bundesliga campaign got off to a stuttering start as they drew 3-3 at the Millerntor-Stadion, having led 3-1 with just four minutes to play. A Danel Sinani penalty, which was accompanied by a red card for Dortmund defender Filippo Mane, got St. Pauli back in the contest before Eric Smith equalised in the 89th minute.
