HS distance runner slams school board over transgender athlete controversy
Two female student athletes who were ousted from their varsity squad alleged their California school district gave preferential treatment to a transgender teammate – and then barred their right to protest the matter, comparing their “Save Girls’ Sports” shirts to a swastika, according to a new lawsuit.
The complaint alleges the trans student failed to train or show up to all required practices, yet still posted better scores and was given the top spot to compete in a high-profile cross-country meet, which Taylor participated in last year. Suspended coach claims San Jose State tried threatening her to stay silent in transgender controversy
Taylor, along with Kaitlyn, a top competitor on the junior varsity team who claims her ability to advance to varsity is in jeopardy due to the trans athlete, protested the matter at a local meet by wearing t-shirts that said “Save Girls’ Sports” and “It’s Common Sense. XX ≠ XY.” The pair lambasted the school district for displaying LGBTQ messaging around campus and allowing the trans student to wear a “trans pride” bracelet.
“The protections we provide to all students are not only aligned with the law but also with our core values, which include equity and well-being.”Students and parents who attended a school board meeting last voiced support for the two female athletes, with a 16-year-old student giving an impassioned plea to officials in defense of the lawsuit.
