From Fox News: A girls’ cross country runner at Martin Luther King High School in Riverside, California, delivered an impassioned plea to her school board on Thursday amid an ongoing controversy over a trans athlete on her team.
The 16-year-old high school student, Rylee Morrow, addressed a recent lawsuit by her teammates alleging that their “Save Girls Sports” T-shirts were likened to a swastika by school officials. The plaintiffs had worn the shirts after a transgender athlete, who hadn’t consistently attended practices or met key varsity eligibility requirements, was placed on the varsity team, displacing one of the girls from her spot, the complaint alleged.
Athletic department school officials allegedly then forced the students to remove or conceal the shirts, claiming they created a “hostile” environment and comparing wearing these shirts to wearing a swastika in front of Jewish students.
Morrow spoke at a Riverside Unified School District board meeting on Thursday, lambasting her school officials and the notion that trans athletes should be allowed to compete in women’s sports.
Morrow noted that other girls on her team are being silenced and afraid to speak out, “because the whole LGBTQ is shoved down our throats!”
“To see the athletic director turn around and tell my teammates that their shirts that say, ‘Save girl’s sports’ be compared to a swastika, that is not okay. These girls feel silenced, they felt silenced, and when they finally did something to speak out against it . . . they were completely stabbed in the back,” she declared.
At the school board meeting, she said, “And it is not OK that I have to be in a position where I’m going to practice and having to see a male in booty shorts and having to see that around me. As a 16-year-old girl, I don’t find that as a safe environment. I don’t at all. And going into a locker room and seeing males in there, I don’t find that safe.”
“We live in a society where it’s almost impossible to speak out on it without facing repercussions,” Morrow said.
