In a lawsuit filed last week, two female athletes at Martin Luther King High School in Riverside County are challenging woke school officials who barred them from wearing t-shirts promoting girls sports and pushed one of them off the elite cross-country team in favor of an unqualified biological male masquerading as female.
The girls, identified in court papers as K.S. and T.S., say the school authorities violated their First Amendment rights by censoring their t-shirts that said, “Save Girls’ Sports” and “It’s Common Sense. XX ≠ XY.” They also say the school violated federal law that guarantees females equal access in sports by removing T.S. from the squad for a biological male who missed most practices and did not even meet team criteria.
The lawsuit says the special preference for the transgender student violated Title IX because it was “discriminatory in effect and denies T.S., a female, equality in athletic opportunities, including equal opportunity to achieve and be recognized for victory.”
