California School Board Votes to Ban Transgender Athletes from Girls’ Sports, Defying State Policy

Let me ask you something. How long would you watch your daughter lose scholarships to boys before you said “enough”? California parents have been watching this happen for years. They’ve begged school boards to listen. They’ve been called bigots for caring. But here’s what the politicians didn’t count on – these parents just figured out they have more power than Sacramento ever wanted them to know.

The battle lines are clear now. President Trump’s administration is suing California over its transgender athlete policies. Governor Newsom’s government insists biological males belong in girls’ locker rooms. It looked like another federal versus state fight. You know, the kind where regular people always lose. But something’s changing in the Golden State. And it’s big.

From Fox News:

A school board in California voted to defy state policy and ban trans athletes from girls’ sports Tuesday.

The Kern County Board of Education approved a resolution to comply with the federal definition of Title IX.

The vote comes amid a feud and lawsuit between the state and President Donald Trump’s administration over the issue of males competing in girls’ sports. Now, at least one school board has opted to side with Trump over the state authorities that have rigorously committed to keeping males in girls’ sports this year.

On Tuesday, the Kern County Board of Education did something that’s never happened before in California. They voted to ban trans athletes from girls’ sports. First public school board in the state to openly defy Sacramento and side with Trump’s federal definition of Title IX. Let me tell you what this really means – it’s local communities telling the state government where they can stick their radical agenda.

Parents Have Had Enough

This rebellion? It didn’t come from nowhere. I’ve watched the frustration build for years. It hit a breaking point last spring. That’s when transgender athlete AB Hernandez from Jurupa Valley High School competed for two girls’ state titles. Real girls – you know, actual females – watched their dreams disappear.

Here’s the part that’ll blow your mind. A bipartisan survey by the Public Policy Institute of California found something interesting. Ready for this? Seventy-one percent of California school parents oppose biological males competing in girls’ sports. That’s not some right-wing poll. That’s Democrats, Republicans, independents – nearly three out of four parents saying this is insane.

Even before Kern County grew a spine, three Christian high schools tried to fight back. JSerra Catholic, Orange Lutheran, and Crean Lutheran sent a letter to the California Interscholastic Federation. They called the transgender policy an “untenable position.” Think about that. These schools have to preach their values in the classroom but abandon them on the field. How’s that for tolerance?

Even Democrats Know It’s Wrong

Want to hear something crazy? Governor Newsom himself admitted the truth. On his own podcast, he said males competing in girls’ sports is “deeply unfair.” His words, not mine. But does he do anything about it? Of course not. He keeps enforcing policies he knows hurt girls. Politics over people – the Democrat way.

The lawsuit gets even better. It says: “The results of these illegal policies are stark: girls are displaced from podiums, denied awards, and miss out on critical visibility for college scholarships and recognition.”

You know what that means in plain English? Girls are getting screwed. And everyone knows it.

Look, Kern County isn’t alone here. Two school boards in Maine already passed similar resolutions. They’re defying their state too. Same federal lawsuit situation. What we’re seeing isn’t some random protest. This is the start of a nationwide parent revolution. And it’s about time.

The Kern County board chose to follow federal Title IX definitions instead of California’s made-up version. When 65% of all California adults support requiring athletes to compete based on biological sex, the board is just doing what the people want. Remember that concept? Representatives actually representing?

This is bigger than just sports. Way bigger. It proves that even in America’s bluest state, parents can take back their schools from the crazies. The same parents who fought COVID closures and woke curricula? They’re protecting their daughters now. And here’s the kicker – if it can happen in California, it can happen anywhere.

Key Takeaways

  • Kern County becomes first California school board to ban biological males from girls’ sports
  • 71% of California parents oppose trans athletes in girls’ sports despite state policy
  • Governor Newsom admits the policy is “deeply unfair” but won’t change it
  • Local school boards are successfully defying state overreach nationwide
