In February, the School District of Philadelphia announced it would defy President Donald Trump’s executive order prohibiting biological males who pretend to be females from participating in athletic competitions against other females. This was an egregious act of defiance from the leadership of one of the worst-rated school districts in the country. Much like the rogue, left-wing educators that plague our nation’s schools, the School District of Philadelphia prioritized its adherence to political ideology over protecting female student-athletes.

“The School District of Philadelphia strives to ensure safety, equity, and justice for all students regardless of gender identity or gender expression so that they can imagine and realize any future they desire,” district spokeswoman Christina Clark said in a statement last month. “The District will continue to align its practices to support its LGBTQ+ students in accordance with Board Policy 252 for transgender and gender non-conforming students.”
