West Virginia Middle School Students Who Refused to Compete Against Trans Student Banned From Sports

Some protests are more equal than others.

As students rampage on college campuses, block highways, and shout expletives at Jews, five middle-school female students who silently and respectfully declined to compete against a boy have been banned from competing in school competitions.

I am not making this up. 

NEW: Five girls from Lincoln Middle School who refused to compete against a transgender athlete during a shot put competition have been BANNED from future competitions.

West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey has filed a lawsuit against the Harrison County Board of Education on student's behalf.

“I will do everything in my power to defend these brave young girls. This is just wrong. We must stand for what’s right and oppose these radical trans policies,” Morrisey stated.

The trans student, Becky Pepper-Jackson, 13, competed in the Harris County Middle School Track and Field Championship and took home first place in the shot put competition.

As you can see from the video, all the girls did was enter the circle from which they were supposed to throw the shotput and then step out again. No shouting. No insults. No tantrums.

Just a silent protest against a manifest unfairness. In 2020, riots were a public health imperative; in 2024, middle school girls stepping out of a circle silently is a cause for dramatic punishment. 

For this reason, the school administration has banned them from any future competitions

Not what you do but what you believe determines your rights. Adults are canceling students. 

Unbelievable. 

Five West Virginia middle schoolers who protested a transgender athlete’s participation in a track and field competition have been barred from future meets — prompting the state attorney general to ask the US Supreme Court to weigh in on transgender student-athlete bans for a second time.

West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey filed a lawsuit against the Harrison County Board of Education on the dissenting students’ behalf after they were blocked from upcoming meets following their protests at the April 18 shot put competition, West Virginia Watch reported.

Five girls from Lincoln Middle School stepped up to the circle for their turn before refusing to throw in the event, which was won by Becky Pepper-Jackson, a 13-year-old girl who takes puberty-blocking medication and estrogen hormone therapy.

While West Virginia law bans transgender girls from playing on girls’ sports teams, a recent federal appeals court ruled that the law couldn’t lawfully be applied to the eighth-grader.

This is, of course, insane. And the state is fighting back against the decision of the local school district. At least somebody is speaking up where the students cannot. 

West Virginia Attorney General Patrick Morrisey filed a brief in support of the female middle school student-athletes who publicly protested a transgender athlete competing in their track and field competition.

The transgender athlete has been permitted to compete due to a recent federal appeals court ruling

Five students who forfeited their shot-put competition April 18 in protest have now been barred from competing in that event at their next track and field meet, according to a new release from the AG’s office. 

Four of the five students, through their parents, filed suit.

“Their actions at the earlier track meet were not disruptive or aggrandizing. They were the quiet demonstration of the student-athletes’ evident unhappiness with the competitive consequences of a federal appellate court’s decision,” Morrisey, a Republican, wrote in the amicus brief filed April 26. 

You know exactly what message is being sent by the "educators:" get in line or get out. There is an intersectional pyramid of "oppression," and girls are being pushed down to the bottom. 

For some reason, and I can't imagine why, there is no large-scale movement of "trans-men" to participate in male sports. Few, if any, girls who "identify" as boys are demanding that they strip naked in front of boys and compete against them, but bigger and stronger "transwomen" are flooding into girls' sports, leaving girls in the dust. 

And the education establishment is cheering them on. 

Girls are being told that they don't matter, and they surely are getting the message. 

Educationally, boys are being discriminated against, while in sports, girls are. The only students who are being embraced by the powers that be are members of the alphabet mob. 

Is it any wonder that younger kids are declaring themselves "Queer" in ever greater numbers? You get more of what you reward. 

As I wrote earlier, the fever is breaking in Europe, where biological reality is again acknowledged. The opposite is happening on the North American continent, where alphabet ideology is ascendant. 

It's grossly unfair that young girls are being forced to be advocates of sanity; that is the job of adults. 

And the adults are failing.

Would be nice if all of their classmates showed support to them and refused to attend any sports events with trannies in them

Women caused this whole problem. Only women can fix it. Time for those girls to go door-to-door taking signatures and organizing an effort to remove everyone of those board members. Those perverts need to lose their jobs.

“And the adults are failing.”

The boys at the school should open up an old fashioned can of whoop ass on this transgender “girl”.

They’d be the men the adults cannot be.

Why is hotair.com referring to a boy taking estrogen and calling himself “Becky” a girl?

Also, those girls need to show up at the next track meet, with an army of their friends and attempt to walk in. They should force the school police to try to block them or arrest them. Just like the lunch counter in Selma Alabama, or sitting in the front of the bus. Time for massive, organized, nonviolent resistance.

Kids are now referring to themselves as dogs and cats.

China won’t need to fire a shot to conquer a military comprised of these loons.

I love this. This may help destroy feminism. Let it continue. And hopefully towns will start tarring and feathering these edjookaders as a bonus. Otherwise, you stupid weaklings, they will grow stronger and do more damage. But does it matter anymore? Honestly?

WE need to organize support for these brave young women. Even if it's just sending them 'Thank You' cards.

Liberals organize - we whine. It's time to flip that one...

The parents of the trans should be locked up at the very least.

there is no parental consent involving experimental human atrocity.

“Becky” is just a mentally challenged boy pretending to be a girl.

For boys, the appeal of declaring themselves to be “transgender” in order to compete against physically smaller and weaker girls will fade when the number of “transgenders” becomes so high that there are few to no actual girls in girls’ sports. At that time, they’ll just be competing against other boys (who share their atrocious sense of fashion).

It’s a shame. I grew up in a time when women had to fight to have woman-only sports. For a long time, it looked like we had won that fight. But not any more.

That Gandhi cat figured that one out. Non violent, just arrive and refuse to obey. I think those girls and their friends would be astonished at how much power they had of they tried it.

This is happening in West Virginia.

The scariest part is those five girls are being more active than anybody else. The AG, when you get right to it, is just doing his job.

The only people active on this are 5 people. That’s it.

Count them. 5. It only requires one hand.

People refuse to stand up and defend their own children. I just don’t understand. And even moreso to stand up and defend other people’s children all the same. I just don’t understand.

Those 5 girls going basically solo is such a condemnation of every last parent within eye sight of that school.

I say, tough it out and just let them ban you.

The league wouldn’t last ten minutes without the women
playing along with this.

Title Nine would collapse. All you’d have is a couple
of wanker female wanna-bes out there on the fild
strutting without the stuff they used to have.
