School District Defies Washington State, Votes to Ban Males from Girls' Sports
Western Journal ^ | May 24, 2025 | Jack Davis

In deep blue Washington state, where state leaders say men in women’s sports is just fine and dandy, one tiny school district is defying that policy.

In early May, the Quilcene School Board passed a resolution requiring that student-athletes participate in the gender of their birth, according to the Seattle Times.

The 3-2 vote bucks state law and the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association rule book.

...

However, it is in keeping with the Trump administration’s definition of Title IX, which says women’s sports are only open to those born female.

Chris Reykdal, Washington state superintendent of public instruction, has said that regardless of that the president says, Washington state will live by its own rules.

...

The district is the second to go against state law. In February, the Tumwater School Board said students have to be born female to play in women’s sports after two players on a girls’ basketball team refused to play against a team with a male on the squad.

In April, the state’s athletic association narrowly failed to approve a rule change to limits girls’ sports to females.

...

If you want to identify as a Christmas tree, that is fine with me, but I don’t think it is OK for a biological male to be able to go into a locker room and strip down in front of a little girl

Then they don't need to take federal education funds.

“ Chris Reykdal, Washington state superintendent of public instruction, has said that regardless of that the president says, Washington state will live by its own rules.”

Just imagine if some state said no matter what the federal rules are, they will allow sales of guns with no background checks, including to under 18. Or if they said any doctor who does sex changes would be arrested. Or Islam was illegal.
And that state said it would live by its own rules.

Chrissy needs to learn to live with his “hospital assigned” gonads and stop trying to be a female or vice versa. Friggin’ sicko pimps pushing sexual disorientation.

Chris Reydal and the leadership of Washington State should be arrested, charged, tried, and convicted for sedition, insurrection, and giving aid and comfort to the domestic and foreign enemies of the United States.

This demonstrates the heavy handedness of government in general.

The state government says that they will determine the law for the state … not the federal government. So far, so good.

But then, in turn, the state refuses the local authority to establish its rules in accordance with what its constituents want.

Liberals want to control. It’s as simple as that.

And yet if parents did that, they’d be branded as sexual predators and jailed faster than you could blink.

This is what happens when the big rich and the state workers unions bankroll the Democrat candidates so they can run their beautiful ads to the lazy, gullible electorate. Washington is virtually a one party state.

Any human reading this at any other time in world history would be baffled.
