Parents Pull Daughters From Sports Team Over Safety Concerns After Boy Deemed Allowed To Compete

Parents are planning on pulling their daughters off a Wisconsin high school sports team after a male has been allowed to compete..

About 50 parents and athletes within Green Bay Area Public School District met with officials Thursday who told them that a male would be allowed to compete on a high school sports team and potentially use locker rooms on the basis of gender identity rather than biological sex

...

With tryouts starting Monday, some girls do not plan to attend over concerns for their physical safety.

...

“The girls are just kind of fed up hearing that your safety is our top concern from all these people and they’re really doing nothing about it,” Ryan Gusick, a parent with a daughter on the sports team..

The name of the school and the sport is not being named by local outlets reporting the story for safety concerns.

In the meeting, the district told the parents that the male student would be allowed to compete on the team if the student meets Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association regulations, which requires male-to-female transgender athletes take testosterone suppression therapy for at least one year, NBC 26 reported. The school district’s transgender policy states that students should not be kept from participating in sports and that students looking to compete on the basis of gender identity will be addressed on a case-by-case basis.

“The Green Bay Area Public School District cares about the well-being of every student,” the school district said in a statement to the outlet. “All decisions regarding a student’s ability to participate in co-curricular athletics/activities are made in accordance with Title IX law, Board policy, and WIAA regulations.”

Throughout the country, parents, school boards and lawmakers are debating whether sports teams should be separated on the basis of biological sex rather than gender identity; in Virginia, the high school sports authority announced that it will reject recent state guidance which requires sports teams to be separated on the basis of biological sex rather than gender identity. Republican Texas Gov. Greg Abbott signed a bill that prevents men from competing on women’s sports teams in college.

“I think it really reaffirmed the fact that they’re just not going to play,” Gusick told NBC 26 following the meeting with the district. “They’re too concerned mostly about the locker room situation in itself, and the safety concern.”

It’s long last time to get sports out of government schools.

For that matter, let’s put an end to government schools entirely.

Hopefully, this is the start of the pushback.

This is what it will take. We simply do NOT obey the left. If they push it, we make them hurt.
Hurt badly. It’s time to start talking frankly about the slime that considers themselves elite.

Or just quit putting males on female teams. Seems pretty easy to me and it has worked for decades

Was that how the Olympics dealt with East Germany? That’s who we are now.

Excellent idea!

They lie right to our faces and dare us to do anything about it.

I played CYO ball back in the day. Though I’m not to certain how “C” it was...
Private teams and leagues will occur if the tranny pandering doesn’t cease.

The children are being the mature thinkers in this situation while the school district promotes perversion of children.

This is “Phase II”. Phase III will be when parents and supporters hold ‘alternative’ sporting events for just girls, ideally at the same dates and times as the public schools events.

Granted it is a huge and expensive hassle, but everything public school related is based on attendance. No attendance, no support, no money.

And if it is private, maybe in cooperation with charter and/or religious schools and home schools, it can include many things public schools would refuse to do, such as target shooting, archery, and Bible studies.

People need to step up and take a stand against this insanity and it has to start with parents putting maximum pressure on these idiot so called educators.

We are heading for a gated membership only sporting world. The urban basketball courts will have hours and locks soon. This will spiral fast.

You might want to learn about the monsters who run the schools that most FReepers STILL send their kids to.

Hate to be an Eee-yore, but —

I remember when they forced bussing on our county schools. The opposition to bussing back then was much more intense than the opposition to guys in the girls bathroom is today — even though the bathroom issue is more insane than bussing.

But despite the intense opposition to bussing — it didn’t make the slightest bit of difference. Rats & rinos kept winning elections and kids kept getting bussed into the hood.

I used to love playing basketball. I quit because of black behavior.

I play co-ed volleyball now.
I also swim...
