Officials of deep blue Washington State have launched a full-blown “investigation” alleging “harassment” against a teen high school girl who refused to take the court against a transgender player on an opposing girl’s basketball team.
The Foundation Against Intolerance & Racism (FAIR) filed a complaint against the school for teen Frances Staudt, a girl who plays for the Tumwater High School girl’s basketball team.
At issue is Staudt’s refusal to play in a game on February 6 after she noticed that one of the players on the opposing team, Andi Rooks, is a transgender athlete and her subsequent accusations that the school district moved to punish her for her position on transgender athletes.
Staudt says she asked Principal Zach Suderman and Athletic Director Jordan Magrath to remove the male player or stop the game. However, Suderman noted that the state’s governing body for sports, the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association, has rules allowing students to participate under their chosen gender. Staudt also says that Rooks “brutalized” her teammates on the court during the game, and she offered a video to prove her point.
After stating her position, Tumwater school officials launched an investigation into the girl, accusing her of “harassment,” “bullying,” and “misgendering” against the visiting transgender student.
The Staudt family has countered by accusing Suderman of ridiculing the girl over her ideals. The family also says that school officials threatened Staudt’s brother for taking video of the game.
The Staudts also allege that school officials harassed them after they posted about the issue on their personal social media accounts. At one point, Rook’s father allegedly sent threatening text messages to the Staudt family, demanding that they remove the posts.

The girl is learning a critical lesson—never trust adults.
They can and will stab you in the back.
If the states won't do it voluntarily, the federal government might have to step in to get it done. Why is it so hard for people to recognize mental illness? I feel sympathy for these people who desperately need true help, not people encouraging them to indulge into self-destruction.
So simply removing herself from a game… is now bullying.
= = =
You are being beaten on the street, and run away.
That is now bullying.

Segue to self defense - - -
If no castle defence, you must retreat.
Is that also bullying?
But, if you home school there are provisions to let your child play sports for the public schools, or private school of your choice. So you still run into the problem of a trans guy beating up your daughter.
True, but at least they’re not being locked up all day with them 5 days/ week.
Good Point.
