Ken Paxon asks Dallas, IDSSS for “extensive list of documents” by transth athletes – NBC DFW

Less than a day after President Donald Trump has signed an executive order aimed at transgender athletes, Texas General Prosecutor Ken Paxon takes action against two northern Texas school areas.

Paxon addressed the chiefs of the school districts in Dallas and Irving and asked for a “extensive list of documents” to make sure they did not allow the boys to play at the girls’ sports teams.

The request comes after the Prosecutor’s Office said it was realized that the regional regional staff had given “anxiety recommendations” that could oppose state legislation protecting female athletics and after Texas Greg Abut commented on video online, calling for termination of District official.

Our partners at Dallas Morning News reported that people identified as “undercover journalists” with a group called “accuracy in the media” secretly recorded conversations with administrators in ISDS in Dallas and Irving where they were asked how they could be allowed Transsexual children compete in the sport that correspond to their sexual identity.

Paxon wants to know if administrators violate the state law.

According to his cabinet, “the Coordinator of the LGBT LGBT of the Dallas ISD LGBT, Muhangani Gaston, was filmed, telling a parent that a student would be allowed to participate in the sports of girls if the parent changes the birth certificate of his son to “Woman”. She also said the area “find[s] The doors in everything “and that she is ready to go to prison to define the Texas Act.”

The Paxton Office said that such a thing took place in Irving’s ISD, where “ISD CEO ISD, Reny Lizardo, was filmed, informing a parent that the man could play in women’s sport if the parents changed the certificate of The student’s birth “yes” a woman.

“The idea of ​​employees of the school area to turn their backs on students and sacrifice the integrity of women’s athletics for progress in the radical transgender program is disgusting, but it seems that happened here,” Paxton said. “Any systematic effort of the school neighborhood to bypass state legislation and allow biological boys to play in the sports of girls in Texas, will be rooted and my office will explore all roads to hold those responsible at the expense.”

Early Irving ISD said the video shared on social media was received under false claims, was edited and was “incomplete presentation of the whole conversation”. Nevertheless, the district said they comply with all state and federal laws and are expected to adhere to all legal and ethical standards.

The school neighborhood confirmed in a statement late last month that all the athletes participate in teams that match their gender at birth. They added that the person in the video had resigned and that the investigation was ongoing.

“Irving ISD is unwavering in our commitment to the safety and well -being of all our students and employees. We remain focused on our main function to maintain educational achievements and promote the full potential of our students,” the area said.

Our partners at Dallas Morning News have announced that Irving’s ISD said on Thursday that they would comply with Paxton’s request for documents.

ISD in Dallas has not yet issued a statement about Paxon’s request.
