TO School Board in Washington State has filed a complaint alleging the intervention of the federal government that forces the State to prohibit transgender athletes of girls’ sports.
The Kennewick School Board filed a complaint of Title IX before the Office of Civil Rights of the United States Department of Education against the Superintendent of Public Instruction of the State of Washington, Chris Reykdal, this week.
The complaint It includes a plea for the federal “urgent” intervention against the ongoing policies of the State that defy the recent executive order to “keep men out of women’s sports” by President Donald Trump.
“We respectfully request the urgent federal intervention due to the open and atrocious violations of the title IX that currently occur within the student’s student athletics, as well as the required policies of the school district ordered by the State that are in direct violation of Title IX,” says the complaint.

“We are particularly concerned about openly discriminatory policies and mandates for the state of Washington, the Kingdal state superintendent, Ospi and Wiaa will not only damage our young women directly, but also endanger the essential federal financing of our district, whose loss would more severely affect our most affected and at risk.”
The School Board is caught in a conflict of directives, since the Trump administration has ordered all public schools to prohibit trans athletes from girls from girls or the risk of losing federal funds, while the Washington state government has ordered schools to continue allowing trans inclusion.
“This restriction imposed by the State erodes confidence between schools and families and infringes irrarazonably in the precious fundamental right of parents in the guide of their children’s development,” the complaint continues.
“Our school board went to this by really trying to find a midpoint between the state mandate and the fundamental role of the parents. We did it with slight modifications to the mandatory policy of the State that should not offend any reasonable person. However, Ospi has taken the position that our slight modifications offend the law (as Ospi has interpreted it) and seems to have caused the state superintendent Reykdal and Ospi.
Reykdal said it was “inaccurate” to say that there are only two genres during a video address at the end of February.
“It is simply inaccurate, biologically, that there are only boys and that there are only girls,” said Reykdal. “There is a continuum. There is a science in this. There are children who are Intersex born. There are children whose hormones and whose chromosomes are not consistent with their sex at birth.
“Our state laws make it clear that children can identify and participate depending on the gender in which they identify. We are going to maintain that law.”

Reykdal also insisted on that speech that Trump does not have the authority as president to issue a prohibition of trans athletes in girls sports, but admitted that the United States Congress does.

He Tumwater School District The Board of Directors voted 3-1 on February 27 to prohibit Trans athletes for women’s sports teams after a national publicized controversy that involves one of the female basketball teams of their school.

The complaint said that the Tumwater school district In Washington He is investigating Frances Staudt, 15, for “damaging” the opponent and violating the policies of the district against bullying and harassment on February 7.
