Texas AG Ken Paxton requests documents from Dallas ISD, Irving ISD ‘to ensure no boys are competing in girls’ sports
TEXAS, USA — Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said his office has requested “an extensive list of documents” from both Dallas ISD and Irving ISD “to ensure that the districts are not allowing boys to compete in girls’ sports.”
In a press release from Paxton’s office, he said letters were sent to the superintendents of both districts “after the office was made aware that officials at Dallas and Irving ISD had given parents alarming recommendations that could potentially reflect an unstated policy of not upholding Texas state law protecting women’s athletics.”
The request comes after a conservative activist group, Accuracy in Media, filmed and published videos of Dallas and Irving ISD administrators without their knowledge.
According to Paxton’s press release, a Dallas ISD administrator was filmed saying a male student would be allowed to participate in girls’ sports if the parent changed the birth certificate of their son to “female.” The release also claimed she said that the district “find[s] the loopholes in everything” and that she is willing to go to jail for defying Texas law.
