Minnesota State High School League: Boys now allowed to dance on Minnesota high school teams.

Reuters via CompuServe News (CompuServe...? Who dis?): Boys now allowed to dance on Minnesota high school teams.
An organization that oversees high school sports in Minnesota has rescinded its rule preventing boys from joining their high schools' competitive dance teams.

The change announced on Friday night by the Minnesota State High School League followed a March 6 decision by the 8th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in St. Paul, Minnesota blocking the rule's enforcement.

In its decision, the appeals court had said the girls-only rule probably violated boys' constitutional equal protection rights.

The court also found no proof that the rule addressed girls' historic underrepresentation [sic] in high school sports in Minnesota, where boys and girls now participate almost equally.
