Oregon teens Alexa Anderson and Reese Eckard scored a win in their legal battle against the state’s high school sports association after they stepped down from a medal podium to protest a trans athlete in May.
Anderson and Eckard’s lawsuit against the Oregon School Activities Association (OSAA) alleges the league excluded them from official photos after the protest and even withheld their medals.
The suit argues the girls’ First Amendment rights were infringed upon by the officials.
US District Court Judge Youlee Yim You denied the OSAA’s motion to strike a portion of the lawsuit that highlighted what forms of political speech the league does allow, including Black Lives Matter and pro-LGBTQ pride messaging, which was a key point in the plaintiffs’ argument.
Anderson condemned the OSAA for attempting to strike that argument in a statement to Fox News Digital.
“I’m not surprised OSAA thought their past behavior didn’t matter — or that the judge disagreed. That’s the thing with bias: The worst offenders are the ones who can’t see their own behavior for what it is,” Anderson said.

I would like to know if these trans activists have ever wondered why there were separate men’s and women’s in the first place. Unfortunately, I think it is going to take a young woman dying in a competition before this issue gets resolved once and for all.
Excellent! Two can play the lawfare game.
I hope she sues them for a couple millions.
