A Washington school board president is hoping to inspire schools to take a stand on behalf of girls’ sports.

“The one thing that people say, a lot of times, is that they argue that including, I guess, boys or men in women’s sports, that’s really inclusive. But the fact is it’s exclusive. Because we’re excluding girls and women now,” Gabe Galbraith, who leads the Kennewick School Board, told Fox News Digital.

The school district recently passed a resolution that affirmed the board’s stance that biological males should not compete with biological females in sports.

“NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, that the Kennewick School District Board of Directors strongly supports fairness in competition and student safety; and BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Kennewick School District Board of Directors strongly affirms that ‘sex’ is defined as biological male or biological female as determined at birth, and is an immutable characteristic that cannot be changed, fluid, or altered,” the resolution read.

It continued, “BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that the Kennewick School District Board of Directors strongly affirms that biological males should not participate in biological females’ sports and inherent biological differences and abilities exist between biological males and biological females and commits to protecting female sports.”

The resolution, which passed in June, followed a transgender runner winning the girls’ 400-meter sprint at the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association (WIAA) state track and field meet. 

Although the idea for the resolution came after President Biden’s Title IX revisions back in April, Galbraith acknowledged the track meet influenced the timing of its release.

“We have too many people just kind of sitting on the sidelines and not voicing their concerns. So we decided we were going to take a stand. We came up with this resolution, and we passed it at our local school board meeting, just this last week. We’re the first board in Washington state to take a stand against this. Hopefully, we can get a bunch of the other school boards on this resolution and maybe affect some change in the state,” Galbraith said.

He revealed that they have since received support from locals as well as city council members after the resolution passed. Galbraith also hoped that this resolution “opens the door for others to kind of jump in and follow along” to inspire real change.

“They tell us it’s never going to happen in your state. It’ll never happen. And then it happens. And then we were able to come out and stand up against it with our resolution, which effectively is just our board saying that we don’t support it. We have to try to work with our legislators and stuff to affect some change to figure out what the next step is,” Galbraith said.

TRANSGENDER ATHLETE COMPLAINS ABOUT LACK OF SPORTSMANSHIP FROM FELLOW RUNNERS AFTER WINNING GIRLS STATE TITLE

According to Washington Interscholastic Activities Association (WIAA) policy, every athlete will compete in programs “consistent with their gender identity or the gender most consistently expressed.” However, the association does not require athletes to take part in hormone therapy or use hormone blockers.

SAN FRANCISCO – San Francisco police are investigating two separate shootings that left two people injured on Friday, officials said. 

The first shooting happened in the Tenderloin. Officers responded to the area of Ellis and Hyde streets at 8:37 a.m. on the report of a shooting. A man was found lying on the ground with an apparent gunshot wound. The victim received first aid and was taken to a local hospital with non-life threatening injuries. 

No arrests have been made. 

Another shooting was reported at around 9:50 p.m. Officers assigned to the Bayview station responded to the 1100 block of Connecticut Street where a man was found lying on the ground suffering from an apparent gunshot wound. Officers rendered aid. The victim was taken to a local hospital for life-threatening injuries. 

No arrests in this case have been made. 

No suspect information was provided by police in either of these shootings. 

The Denver Nuggets have had a very quiet offseason so far. Losing Kentavious Caldwell-Pope to the Orlando Magic and trading Reggie Jackson to the Charlotte Hornets, Denver has not yet replaced either player. The Nuggets have strong interest in acquiring Russell Westbrook from the LA Clippers, but he is still under contract with them, so that situation remains unresolved.

In a recent report from Michael Scotto of HoopsHype, it was revealed that both Denver and the Miami Heat had interest in sharpshooting guard Buddy Hield before he joined the Golden State Warriors in a sign and trade agreement with the Philadelphia 76ers. 

As Scotto mentioned, Denver did not have the financial flexibility to acquire Hield, but still had interest in doing so. Hield could have theoretically given Denver some of what Caldwell-Pope did in his time there, but they are not the same players. As for Miami, they have been rumored to have interest in several different players, but they have also had a relatively quiet transaction period in terms of external additions.

There are a lot of moves still to be made around the NBA this summer, as several key players are expected to switch teams between now and the start of next season. As for Denver, they have yet to get involved in much of this, but likely will at some point.
