A school board in Washington State is seeking help from the federal government to force the state to ban transgender athletes from girls’ sports.
In a filing to the U.S. Department of Education’s Civil Rights Division, the Kennewick School Board filed a Title IX complaint against Washington state’s Superintendent of Public Instruction, Chris Reykdal.
The school board asked the federal government for “urgent” relief against the state’s efforts to defy President Trump’s executive order, “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports.”
“We respectfully request URGENT federal intervention due to open and egregious Title IX violations currently occurring within the state’s student athletics, as well as requisite school district policies mandated by the state, which are in direct violation of Title IX,” the school board wrote.
“We are particularly concerned the openly discriminatory policies and mandates by the state of Washington, State Superintendent Reykdal, OSPI and WIAA not only directly harm our young women, but also jeopardize our district’s essential federal funding, the loss of which would most severely impact our most impoverished and at risk populations.”
The source of the tension stems from the Trump administration’s directive to ban trans athletes from women’s sports or lose federal funding, and Washington State’s determination to continue to permit males to play in female sports.
“This state-imposed restriction erodes the trust between schools and families and unreasonably infringes on the precious fundamental right of parents in guiding their children’s development,” the complaint states.

Thought this might be the Bee. A ban on men would harm women??? How about polling all the women athletes in the state.
I think you need to read it again but more slowly. The Kennewick School Board wants no trannies on women’s sports teams. This is good.
The voices of the local elected representatives, and those citizens, pleading to reign in a runaway freight train.
Good news.
The perverts and leftists are not going to back down without a fight.
The administration needs to show them one.
