The heads of many leftists exploded Saturday after a Connecticut girl wrote an op-ed published in
USA Today in which she talked of how unfair it was that she and other natural-born girls were beaten out for track and field scholarships by boys claiming to be transgender girls.
A young woman named Chelsea Mitchell began losing race after race starting back when she was in high school in 2017. Even though she was rated the fastest female runner in the state in the 55-yard-dash, she lost nearly a dozen titles because, in 2017, the state of Connecticut ruled that biological boys claiming to be transgender girls could compete in school sports with biological girls.
NANTUCKET The White Heron Theatre Company will develop a musical about pioneering 19th-century Nantucket astronomer/scientist Maria Mitchell, a show that will be the cornerstone of its 10th anniversary season in 2022 prior to a New York City production.
The workshop to create the world premiere of “Miss Mitchell” will be funded in part by a $10,000 grant announced Wednesday by the National Endowment for the Arts.
The Nantucket project was one of three grants awarded locally out of 1,100 grants nationwide, with money also funding projects for The Yard dance collective in Chilmark and Atlantic Public Media in Woods Hole.
In an announcement about the grant, Lynne Bolton, artistic director at the island-based White Heron company, expressed thanks for the federal support and said that with the planned later New York show, it is gratifying to be able to bring a piece of Nantucket to the national scene.”
