Ohio AIM Investigation Featured by The Christian Post

An Ohio school district is considering its legal options after a watchdog group released undercover video that purportedly shows a high school guidance counselor telling an activist journalist posing as the parent of a boy identifying as female how to circumvent the state’s laws.

The conservative watchdog group Accuracy in Media released the footage of its undercover investigation on Monday. In the video, an undercover operative is heard asking Reading Community Schools guidance counselor Jennifer Leone if her son can compete in women’s sports and use the girls’ restroom.

The operative told Leone that her son had an updated birth certificate that referred to the child as female, asking how this applies to Ohio’s laws regarding bathrooms and athletics.

“And that’s where, I would think, ‘This is what the birth certificate says, prove that it’s wrong,'” Leone said in response. “Prove it.”

When the journalist asked later whether she would need to produce her son’s original birth certificate to compete in sports, the guidance counselor is heard asking how anyone would know to ask for it.

“As long as, you know, the name that’s on your birth certificate is the name that you put in the system, and you fill out everything in the system that matches the birth certificate, again, how are you going to prove it?” Leone stated.
