Parents Pull Daughters From Sports Team Over Safety Concerns After Boy Deemed Allowed To Compete
Daily Caller News Foundation ^ | August 11, 2023 | REAGAN REESE

Parents are planning on pulling their daughters off a Wisconsin high school sports team after a male has been allowed to compete..

About 50 parents and athletes within Green Bay Area Public School District met with officials Thursday who told them that a male would be allowed to compete on a high school sports team and potentially use locker rooms on the basis of gender identity rather than biological sex

...

With tryouts starting Monday, some girls do not plan to attend over concerns for their physical safety.

...

“The girls are just kind of fed up hearing that your safety is our top concern from all these people and they’re really doing nothing about it,” Ryan Gusick, a parent with a daughter on the sports team..

The name of the school and the sport is not being named by local outlets reporting the story for safety concerns.

In the meeting, the district told the parents that the male student would be allowed to compete on the team if the student meets Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association regulations, which requires male-to-female transgender athletes take testosterone suppression therapy for at least one year, NBC 26 reported. The school district’s transgender policy states that students should not be kept from participating in sports and that students looking to compete on the basis of gender identity will be addressed on a case-by-case basis.

“The Green Bay Area Public School District cares about the well-being of every student,” the school district said in a statement to the outlet. “All decisions regarding a student’s ability to participate in co-curricular athletics/activities are made in accordance with Title IX law, Board policy, and WIAA regulations.”

Throughout the country, parents, school boards and lawmakers are debating whether sports teams should be separated on the basis of biological sex rather than gender identity; in Virginia, the high school sports authority announced that it will reject recent state guidance which requires sports teams to be separated on the basis of biological sex rather than gender identity. Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed a bill that prevents men from competing on women’s sports teams in college.

“I think it really reaffirmed the fact that they’re just not going to play,” Gusick told NBC 26 following the meeting with the district. “They’re too concerned mostly about the locker room situation in itself, and the safety concern.”

“People need to step up and take a stand against this insanity and it has to start with parents putting maximum pressure on these idiot so called educators.”

People need to take a stand against these idiot indoctrinators and against the leftist government goons pushing them and the leftist agenda. Only question is...

will they? I’m kinda doubting it. Apathy is one of the diseases that I see America dying from. Stupidity is another. Both are allowing the leftist disease to spread and take over.

I was bussed to the worst part of town when I was in first grade. Within a week, 6th grade yutes would walk up behind us in the hallway or on the playground and rub their pelvises on the backsides of us first grade girls who were bussed in. We had all property stolen (crayons, pencils, books and snacks) and our lunches packed by our mothers were stolen as well -even though those yutes were getting free lunches.

I cannot name a single thing that the dems have positively created, built up or made better - every single thing they touch is destroyed.

They need to throw the people responsible for misusing taxpayer dollars on this gender denial crap in prison. It is aiding and abetting child abuse among a number of other crimes. Lock them up for life. No parole. Put them in the general population of the prison so they can be Bubba’s bitch.

Wisconsin has some real psychos in their school systems. Finally some parents have the cajones to fight back.

“It can teach discipline and team building - all while sometimes creating lifelong friendships.”

It can also make school years a LIVING HELL for un-athletic students. I achieved all of what you mention, and much more, being super active in the music end of things.

I agree. It’s going to take lawsuits to really make a difference. Big,fat lawsuits that break the school’s wallet.

Sports can do a lot for young people.

So can debating club, chess club, bands etc. There is no one size fits all and forcing kids to play a varsity sport when they have no interest in doing so and have other types of talent is abuse. I would not have put my kids in such a school. In fact Delbarton was a nonstarter for my boys on just that basis.

I have one son who did 12 years of competitive gymnastics, two others who did other non sport activities competitively.

“basis of gender identity rather than biological sex”

OK, how about the first requirement for all these wussie boys that want to compete with the girls be castrated to complete their journey to womanhood and to prove they really identify as female.

They should be told that THEY will be held accountable if anything happens. They KNEW the risk and went ahead anyway. They deserve prison when it happens.

When I was a kid, and not all that long ago, if a boy started identifying as a girl and wanted to be in the girl’s locker room, that would have ended both abruptly and permanently when dad found out.

One pervert male is the sole reason these girls can’t have a team. That just completely sucks.

The girls should “team up” and deliver a little social justice themselves.

"They're just not used to the ball coming at them that hard," Ryan Gusick, a parent of one of the girls, said.

Volleyball is a good guess. And having a male playing on a female height net is absolutely ridiculous — and dangerous.

I’ve played a lot of “reverse co-ed” volleyball, and guys were only able to attack from behind the 10-foot line. It was tons of fun.

Between band and sports. The picture is quite obvious.

Yes it’s a start but just barely. For this to work it has to be the rule not the exception. I cannot believe how many parents are putting up with having their teenage daughters share the locker rooms and showers with these creeps pretending to be girls. I thought once that started this whole thing would blow up
but nope.

I am wondering...if enough students are in private or home or alternative schools could the voters float a law that outlawed school taxes or drastically cut them? Could it be countywide? Or statewide? If it was a county could refrain from paying taxes that might start a push in that direction. Cripple the public schools.

Parents need to pull the pimps on the school board and the administration of the affected school. Barring that, start a charter school. This evil must stop.

‘But saying sports trumps morality is nuts!’

I would agree wholeheartedly with you...if someone on this thread had actually made that statement...
