Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is investigating two school districts whose officials were caught on tape saying they would help alter records for male students so they could play girls’ sports, The Daily Wire has learned.
Accuracy In Media last month exposed two school officials in separate districts saying they would violate a Texas law that requires students to play on teams that match their sex. Though the two administrators don’t seem to have had any contact with each other, the similarity of their answers suggests a willingness among Texas public school staff to put their ideological beliefs above the law.
Now, Paxton is demanding answers from the two school districts to better understand the situation.
“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 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. On Wednesday, President Donald Trump 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.”
