NOTICE: This petition is NOT the recall petition of board member Brandt. That petition is a hard-copy petition (totally different from this one) and MUST be signed in person. Please sign THAT petition by going to the website below and finding a copy to sign! Brandt not only left during public comment but also returned to vote down the measure that would protect girls’ sports in KPS. He also voted to retain extremely sexually graphic books on the shelves of our school libraries, available to minors. Brandt might be a good dad, but his policies are bad for kearney’s families and students. That’s a reason to recall.

You can go to this site and email the team organizing the recall to get a petition brought to you to sign. Stay connected and help us make a positive change in Kearney! :)

Kearney Public Schools needs a clear, common-sense extracurricular policy that recognizes the biological differences between male and female athletes and ensures equal opportunity and fairness. Our district needs to specifically state in written policy that athletes in our schools must play on the team that matches their biological sex from birth. Identities don’t play sports; bodies do. The integrity of the KPS sporting programs must be preserved by each board member recognizing the biological differences between males and females and how these differences affect performance and capacity. KPS board members must support policy that uses biological sex to determine team placement.

Additionally, KPS cannot rely on flimsy NSAA guidelines which could still result in biological males competing against female students athletically. KPS must adopt extracurricular guidelines that protect our girls, recognize established biology, and ensure fair competition. The signers of this petition agree with this stance.
