AP:

A western Pennsylvania school board won’t let a studentwho was born female but identifies as male run for homecoming king.

The Richland School Board didn’t rule on Kasey Caron’s request Monday night, but simply let stand an earlier decision by school administrators which leaves the 17-year-old senior on the ballot for homecoming queen.

Kasey’s mother, Kathy Caron, says she’s disappointed by the decision. Kasey says, “My heart sunk a little.”
