Texas AG Launches Investigation Into Schools Scheming to Get Males Into Female Sports

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is investigating two school districts after officials were caught on tape discussing how they would alter records for male students to allow them to participate in girls’ sports, The Daily Wire has learned.

Last month, Accuracy In Media exposed two school officials in separate districts stating they would violate a Texas law requiring students to compete on teams that align with their sex. Although the two administrators appear to have had no contact with each other, the strikingly similar responses suggest a willingness among some Texas public school staff to prioritize their ideological beliefs over the law.

Now, Paxton is demanding answers from the two school districts to gain a clearer understanding of the situation, the Daily Wire reported.

“The idea of school district officials turning their backs on female students and sacrificing the integrity of women’s athletics to advance the radical transgender agenda is disgusting,” Paxton told the The Daily Wire. “Any systematic effort by a school district to sidestep state law and allow biological boys to play in girls’ sports in Texas will be rooted out, and my office will explore all avenues to hold those responsible to account.”

Paxton’s investigation could have sweeping consequences, the outlet reported, after President Donald Trump on Wednesday signed an executive order stipulating that the United States will “rescind all funds from educational programs that deprive women and girls of fair athletic opportunities.”

In January, an Accuracy In Media reporter posing as a parent approached Mahoganie Gaston, the LGBT Youth Program Coordinator for Dallas Independent School District, and Reny Lizardo, the executive director of campus operations at Irving Independent School District.

When asked about ways to bypass Texas’s ban on boys playing on girls’ sports teams, both officials were quick to suggest potential “loopholes.”

Gaston said parents could simply “update” the gender on their child’s birth certificate — which, the outlet reported, is a violation of Texas law. She claimed that she “would go to jail” to help a trans-identifying student join a sports team of the opposite biological sex and bragged that she wouldn’t have any difficulties finding assistance if she faced legal trouble.

“If you can get that done, and you turn us a birth certificate that says ‘this gender,’ that’s the gender we go with,” Lizardo said, adding “it’s not illegal if you don’t get caught.”

In a statement following the incident, Irving ISD distanced itself from Lizardo, who resigned in the wake of the Accuracy In Media report.

“Irving ISD complies with all state and federal laws, and all employees are expected to adhere to any and all legal and ethical standards,” the district said in a statement,” adding that Lizardo “was acting outside of his role as it relates to legal and regulatory expertise.”
