    1. why tf does a school ask for a birth certificate
    2. why tf would parents give that
    3. why tf did the parents not see the error in the birth certificate?

    My take: school asking for the certificate? Wrong. Now that they have it, they are reacting legally correct, because that birth certificate is a legal document. Sucks for the boy, but the fault is 100% the parents.

      What are you basing your assertion on? The article links to the state law and says the law doesn’t prevent girls from playing on boys teams, so it doesn’t matter if it’s a clerical mistake or not.

        That’s something an American brain cannot comprehend. If the school has boy only teams, the law does not matter. But go ahead and sue the shit out of the school, because that always solves all the problems.
