From Fox News: A girls’ high school volleyball team in California saw two more games on its schedule forfeited amid an ongoing controversy involving a trans athlete on its roster.
Maribel Munoz, the mother of a female player on Jurupa Valley High School’s girls’ volleyball team, provided Fox News Digital copies of messages sent by the team’s coach, Liana Manu, to parents of players, informing them that the team’s upcoming games against Rim of the World High School on Aug. 25 and Orange Vista High School on Aug. 29 had been forfeited.
Jurupa Valley addressed the forfeits in a statement to Fox News Digital.
“We understand and acknowledge the disappointment of our Jurupa Valley High School athletes who are ready and prepared to play. Decisions to cancel matches were made by teams in other districts,” the statement read.
The school district claimed they are “compelled to follow the law, which protects students from discrimination based on gender identity and requires that students be permitted to participate on athletic teams that are consistent with their gender identity (California Education Code 221.5 (f)).”
Nereyda Hernandez, mother of the transgender player, AB Hernandez, claimed, “I know it may be hard to understand, but she is just another girl who wants to play… My child is so innocent, she didn’t even realize the forfeited games were because of her.”
AB Hernandez, a biological boy who identifies as a girl, is a high school senior at Jurupa High School. Multiple schools are now refusing to play against them.

“A male boy with male genitalia should not be allowed to compete against biological girls … He already took a bunch of girls’ CIF championships this year in track and field,” the disgusted father said at the meeting. “And now this same boy wants to come to our district again and now take our girls’ volleyball championships, put stains on their records.”
