When a biological male won a high-school girls triple jump competition by eight feet last month, some California Democrats lauded his athletic prowess. As state Republicans push to protect girls sports, California school board members are speaking up, calling male participation in female sports an “absolute travesty.”

On Tuesday evening, school board members for Temecula Valley Unified School District in Southern California unanimously passed a resolution to support proposed state legislation that would bar male students from participating in female sports. Jennifer Wiersma and Joseph Komrosky, two TVUSD school board members, called on local jurisdictions to get more involved in protecting girls sports and spaces.
