(CN) — The Atlantic Coast Conference of the NCAA said Wednesday that it move all of its neutral site championships from North Carolina in protest of the state’s discriminatory bathroom law. “The ACC Council of Presidents made it clear that the core values of this league are of the utmost importance, and the opposition to any form of discrimination is paramount,” ACC commissioner John Swofford said. The decision comes on the heels of the NCAA moving its championships out of the North Carolina because of House Bill 2, a law that requires transgender people to use public bathrooms that matches the gender on their birth certificates rather than their gender identity.
