Current Washington Interscholastic Activities Association policy allows student-athletes to compete based on gender identity.
A Washington school board is urging its state governing body for high school athletics to "restore equity" to sports, raising concerns over allowing students to compete based on gender identity.
In the resolution, the board members raise concerns that current state and federal approaches "frustrate" Title IX by "allowing biological males to unfairly compete with biological females in athletic endeavors." The resolution also argues that the country has seen examples nationwide of biological females being "outmatched" by biological males in sports due to physiological differences, as well as facing safety risks.
The resolution divided Central Valley parents and students Monday, with some raising concerns over how it could impact the mental health of transgender student-athletes. One father argued that some of the resolution's language resembles "segregation," telling the board "that's not the way forward."
