School Told Girls 'Transgenders Have More Rights,' Runner Took Away Girl's Varsity Spot, Parent Says
Outkick ^ | 1/4/25 | Jackson Thompson

Posted on 01/04/2025 3:18:40 PM PST by CFW

Taylor Starling, a high school cross-country runner at Martin Luther King High School in Riverside, California, lost her spot on the varsity team earlier this season to a transgender transfer student.

Multiple parents of students at Martin Luther King have told Fox News Digital that the school has allowed the trans athlete to compete on the varsity cross-country team despite missing practices for academic reasons. These parents include Starling's father, longtime firefighter Ryan Starling, and construction subcontractor Dan Slavin, father to Kaitlyn, another runner on the team.

"The fact that the male athlete was able to compete while attending less than 25% of the practices is not fair. In what era, on what team, in what sport can you barely show up to practice and still compete?" Dan Slavin told Fox News Digital. "It is not fair, and it is not right to those who work hard every day for the entire season."

Both families are currently engaged in a lawsuit against the Riverside Unified School District (RUSD).

Ryan Starling told Fox News Digital that the loss of his daughter's varsity spot disrupted his entire family emotionally, as cross-country played a pivotal role in her life. And then when his daughter and other girls on the team confronted their school administrators about it, he claims they were told "transgenders have more rights than cisgenders."

"All the administrators at Martin Luther King have stated this comment, and the Title IX coordinator for the Riverside Unified School District has stated ‘that as a Cisgender girl, they do not have the same rights as a transgender girl' to multiple girls, not just our daughters, but multiple girls on campus."

If the school board will not take action, replace the school board. Bring in a quorum to the next school meeting and address the board. If the board will not deal with the concern, hold the quorum and dissolve the board.

Then, once the board is dissolved, bring in some accountants to go over the finance to see what was stolen and charge the former board members.

And then the schools have the audacity to actually be shocked when some kid walks in the door with a trenchcoat and a vendetta.

“The government of any country can only do to the people of that country what the people of that country are willing to allow done to them” L.Star. remember friends, the French revolution was a reaction to the actions of their government and heads rolled as a result. can’t argue with results.

The amount of time spent practicing is irrelevant. IT'S A MAN PLAYING AGAINST WOMEN.

We need to get conservatives to pay more attention to the down-ballot local races. The turn-out on non-Presidential election years is abysmal. And even in years when it is a Presidential election, primary-turn out is low. Most voters wait until the general election and then go to the voting booth and vote D or R. Or even if they do vote in primaries they usually haven’t researched the candidates so just select the incumbent.

All politics is local so we need more involvement in races such as school board members and local commissioners. I’m not sure what we can do at this point. I did what I could going door to door back in the 90s as Secretary of our local GOP party. I’m older now and can’t physically do that any longer. All I can do is influence those that I can locally on neighborhood social media accounts.

I hope Trump can get Title IX fixed ASAP to stop this crap. These schools all hide behind Title IX and say “we have to obey federal law on this” meanwhile trampling all over the rights of NORMAL girls.

I feel so sorry for the girl on the VARSITY team who lost her spot. It must be emotionally devastating to her and the family.

That’s part of the reason why wages have fallen, because they want us to be too busy working to pay attention.

I wish that people could be more like me and vote every vote as consequential. It is a holy duty to vote, because we Christians are supposed to suppress evil where we can.

This stuff will stop when the people committing it are held personally accountable.

There will be either legal justice or there will be street justice.

The liberal Left preaches unity and equity except when it comes to letting wussy boys compete against women. Women apparently don’t qualify for equal competition.

These people are fond of calling us Transphobic, my sister in law did that to me and I told her she was Realityphobic. She didn’t like that.
