WASHINGTON – El Gobierno de Joe Biden propuso este jueves un reglamento que impediría a escuelas y universidades de Estados Unidos imponer vetos a atletas transgénero, aunque los equipos sí podrían imponer límites en algunos casos.El Departamento de Educación subrayó que la participación en deportes escolares “es un componente importante de la educación y brinda valiosos beneficios físicos, sociales, académicos y de salud mental” y apuntó que la normativa ofrece un marco para desarrollar criterios de elegibilidad para proteger a los estudiantes de que se les niegue igualdad de oportunidades”.Bajo la regulación propuesta, no se permitiría que los centros educativos apliquen una política única que prohíba “categóricamente” a los estudiantes transgénero participar en equipos coherentes con su identidad de género”.

NEW YORK (AP) — New York Mets catcher Omar Narváez will be placed on the injured list with a strained left calf that will likely sideline him several weeks.The Mets announced Thursday that Narváez had an MRI that revealed a medium- to high-grade strain. The team said the typical timeline for recovery from that kind of injury is eight to nine weeks.Narváez being sidelined will likely open a roster spot for Mets top prospect Francisco Álvarez, who hit two home runs in four games for Triple-A Syracuse. The power-hitting catcher is considered one of the top prospects in all of baseball.Álvarez debuted in the majors late last September and went 2 for 12 with a homer, a double and two walks in five regular-season games. He was included on the Mets’ playoff roster and struck out in his only postseason appearance in the NL wild-card round against San Diego.The 31-year-old Narváez left the Mets’ 7-6 loss at Milwaukee on Wednesday with what he told reporters was “tightness.” He wa...

Tennessee House expels 2nd Democratic lawmaker after falling short of ousting another

Published Mon, 03 Mar 2025 21:22:26 GMT

(CNN) — Tennessee’s Republican-controlled House of Representatives has voted to expel Rep. Justin Pearson, a week after he and two other Democrats led a gun reform protest on the House floor.The House earlier expelled Rep. Justin Jones over that protest, which followed a deadly mass shooting at a Nashville school. A vote to expel the third Democrat involved, Rep. Gloria Johnson, failed.The vote over rules violations for Pearson was 69-26. Johnson’s vote was 65-30. Expulsion from the House requires a two-thirds majority of the total membership. The vote for Jones split along party lines, 72-25.Protesters flooded the state Capitol on Thursday as the legislators were set to take up three resolutions filed by GOP lawmakers Monday seeking to expel Jones, of Nashville, Johnson of Knoxville and Pearson of Memphis, a step the state House has taken only twice since the 1860s.The crowd erupted in boos and chants following both expulsions.“There comes a time w...
