Texas AG Ken Paxton requests documents from Dallas ISD, Irving ISD ‘to ensure no boys are competing in girls’ sports
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton announced that his office has requested an “extensive list of documents” from both Dallas ISD and Irving ISD to ensure that the districts are complying with state laws prohibiting boys from competing in girls’ sports.
In a press release, Paxton explained that letters were sent to the superintendents of both districts after his office became aware of reports suggesting district officials had made alarming recommendations to parents that could indicate an unspoken policy of not enforcing Texas state laws protecting women’s athletics.
This request follows a series of videos published by the conservative activist group, Accuracy in Media, which filmed Dallas and Irving ISD administrators without their knowledge.
According to Paxton’s release, a Dallas ISD administrator was recorded saying a male student could participate in girls’ sports if his parents altered the student’s birth certificate to list “female.” The administrator also allegedly stated that the district “finds the loopholes in everything” and expressed a willingness to defy Texas law, even if it meant facing legal consequences.
In a similar incident, an Irving ISD administrator was filmed making comments suggesting a male student could play in women’s sports if the student’s birth certificate was changed to reflect “female.” Following the video’s release, Governor Abbott called for an investigation into Irving ISD. The administrator involved later resigned after Abbott called for his dismissal, as reported by WFAA. Irving ISD responded by disputing the video’s representation, claiming it did not reflect the full context of the conversation.
