EXCLUSIVE: Two high school cross-country runners and their families are suing a California school district, alleging their "Save Girls Sports" T-shirts were likened to a swastika.
Plaintiffs Kaitlyn and Taylor, two athletes at Martin Luther King High School in ninth and eleventh grade, respectively, wore T-shirts bearing the messages "Save Girls’ Sports" and "It’s Common Sense. XX ≠ XY."
The girls wore the shirts after a transgender athlete, who didn’t consistently attend practices or meet key varsity eligibility requirements, was placed on the varsity team, displacing Taylor from her spot, the complaint alleged........
Athletic department school officials allegedly forced the students to remove or conceal the shirts, claiming they created a "hostile" environment and comparing wearing these shirts to wearing a swastika in front of Jewish students.
"It was definitely hard to hear because we're by no means trying to be hateful," Kaitlyn told Fox News Digital. "We're just wearing a shirt that expresses what we believe in trying to raise awareness to a situation."
The transgender athlete, however, has been allegedly allowed to wear "trans pride" bracelets, and the school allows other forms of social messaging around campus, including a LGBTQ pride flag, the complaint noted......
Under the Biden-Harris administration, Title IX was amended to include discrimination against gender identity and sexual orientation. The Supreme Court ruled against one of Biden's requests in August that would have permitted biological men in women’s bathrooms, locker rooms and dorms in 10 states where there are state-level and local-level rules in place to prevent it.
On the campaign trail, President-elect Donald Trump said he would roll back Biden-Harris policies on gender treatments for minors and protect women in sports.

Yes. The current narrative of the left is that trannies displacing girls in sports only effects .00001% This is not true. There are countless examples. One is too many.
A few DOJ charges for deprivation of rights will go along ay there fixing this.
They are comparing Title IX to Nazism
Lynching affected a much smaller percentage of the population than that. Must be okay.
Note the tricky misuse of language. Title IX of the Civil Rights Act is a law passed in 1972 to amend the Civil Rights Act of 1964. Neither the Biden administration no recent Congresses have further amended that law to include ”gender identity and sexual orientation”. Instead, the administration has chosen to reinterpret the law to include that. By claiming that the law was amended, the author is implying that Biden is following the law.
Any girls team with a boy on it is cheating.
Period.
That boy is not a girl. They know he’s not a girl but they either look the other way.
That’s cheating.
Agreed, no period no play.
I hope they get all the money.
If identity is a mental illness choice, this is just another Pro choice issue all sexes can unite on. But democrats only like death so this is the real Pro Choice Movement of today.Safe, Sane and Rare.

A few years ago the Supreme Court ruled that actual NAZI could not be denied the right to demonstrate or parade.
We may not like it, but free speech protects speech we don’t like, not speech we agree with.
Any time someone tries to silence someone by calling it “hate speech” should be sued for violating the first amendment of the person they are trying to censor.
Hmmmmmm...
Squish it like a bug or do nothing to keep the issue alive?
Obama had the opportunity to deal with the border issue on his own terms when he had a filibuster-proof majority. Chose the issue over his own solution.
I would love to have this conversation with a liberal:
Me: There really shouldn’t be separate male and female sports teams. Males and females should compete for positions on the same team. And let the best players win.
Liberal: That would be unfair! Men are naturally stronger!
Me: You just explained why transsexual males should not be on female teams.
The thread subject isn't the border issue.
The Democrats don’t want solutions for the issues their constituents want fixed. Why?, to keep the issue alive so that the followers will show up to vote for candidates who propose solutions that will never come to fruition.
In what court is the lawsuit? Is it a state court or federal court?! Are there any unbiased judges in California?!
Its Commiefornia, what did you expect! Parents - move to Texas or FL if you want sanity in girls athletics.
The liberal definition of a Nazi is “anybody who tries to stop me having sex with goats.”
