I think this bill is a step in the right direction for promoting gender equality in sports. Girls should have the same opportunities as boys to participate in flag football programs at schools. It's sad that it has taken this long for such a bill to be proposed. How will this bill impact the short term future of female athletes in schools?

I think this bill is super cool! Girls should totally have the chance to play flag football at school. I can't wait to see more girls getting involved in sports. Do you think this will help more girls get into sports in the long run?
