Ken Paxton Bullies Dallas, Irving ISDs Over Transgender Youths in Sports
Texas Attorney Gen. Ken Paxton is the latest official to react to a series of secretly recorded videos that purport to expose North Texas educators partaking in a leftist agenda to woke-ify schools.
Conservative watchdog group Accuracy in Media has been infiltrating North Texas school districts for months. Representatives posing as prospective parents schedule meetings with administrators and ask questions that seem to be rooted in concern — like will their transgender daughter be allowed to join the soccer team, or does the school teach subjects that circumvent the state’s 2021 ban on critical race theory? — all while fitted with a hidden camera.
Last week, a video exposing an administrator with Irving ISD was retweeted by Texas Gov. Greg Abbott — who called for a civil and criminal investigation into the administrator and Irving ISD — and has been viewed nearly one million times. In the video, Reny Lizardo, the district’s executive director of campus operations, appears to be coaching a prospective parent on her transgender daughter’s athletic options. Lizardo has since resigned, Irving ISD told the Observer in a statement.
