Teen faces civil rights complaint after refusing to play against trans basketball player
New York Post ^ | February 27, 2025 | Bailee Hill

15-year-old Frances Staudt and her mother, Aimee, discussed how her refusal to play against a biological male ignited a firestorm with the Tumwater School District during “Fox & Friends,” and allegedly prompted a series of threats against their family.

After warming up for the Feb. 7 game, Frances notified her coach of her refusal to play against the “quite obvious” biological male spotted on the opposing team.

Then, per the complaint, a school employee allegedly confronted Staudt’s younger brother about taking a video of the game, saying, “You better think twice about what you’re doing right now.”

Shortly after the incident, Frances spoke out about the situation on social media, which was reportedly met with discrimination allegations and threats.

“We did get a letter late Friday that they have found that… she has violated WIAA policy. She hasn’t violated Tumwater School policy, so now they’ve placed her on what they’re saying is, if there’s any further incidents, she can be charged with further discipline,” Aimee said.

“So it’s basically like they’re holding this over her head.”

So the district said, “we remain committed to fostering an inclusive environment where all students feel safe, supported, and valued”.

I don’t think Frances felt “safe, supported & valued”. But obviously they didn’t ask her.

Maybe double secret probation would be appropriate!

So they have rules forcing you to run in the race?

Next time just shuffle around the track in slo-mo.

Tumwater School Districtis in Washington State and has over 6000 enrolled students.

We did get a letter late Friday that they have found that… she has violated WIAA policy

If she is disaplined for her actions Tumwater School District will be lucky to keep their Title 9 federal funds.

Trump is not going to play nice.

Yeah. If it comes to that, go out and just stand there. Zero effort. “Hey, I’m playing! Just not very well!”

Default seems like the best option, but if they punish people for not playing, then go play. But don’t play.

And I bet that boy wants to hang out in the girls’ locker room and watch them all undress in front of him.

Title IX guarantees equal opportunity for male and female athletes. It can be fairly argued that the girl’s Title IX rights were violated in permitting a biological male on the opposing team.

And the brother’s civil rights were violated in trying to intimidate him to stop videotaping - that’s freedom of the press. And the 1A makes us all press.

This nonsense has to go to the Supreme Court. And like right now.

If it were me in this kids place I would refuse to entertain any such complaint of any kind asserting civil rights attaching to deviant actions or ideas, in any way manner shape or form including any summons from any courtroom. If guys with guns want to come to my house to enforce the point… their choice.

Enough is enough.

What have these schools NOT learned after several girls have been seriously injured by biological boys?

Insanity.

Have the real girl file a federal civil rights case since Trump has said no trannies.

“The trans athlete involved in the incident later stated in an interview that she would have sat out the game if anyone had expressed an issue.”

Obviously untrue. As she expressed her concern about his biological sex and he continued to play .
