Jessica Norton has been through a lengthy investigation by the Broward County schools after she sued over Florida's anti-trans sports law.
“The only child that was harmed in this entire investigation was my own child,” Jessica Norton said of her daughter's ban from playing girls' volleyball — a sport her daughter had played for years.
“There is no way around it, I’m being punished because I am the parent of a transgender student,” Jessica Norton said in a statement to the media.
Jessica Norton, the mother of a trans student who briefly played on the Monarch High School volleyball team, spoke during a public comment period at a Broward County School Board meeting on Tuesday.
