A video released by Accuracy in Media shows a school official in Ohio, where lawmakers overrode Gov. Mike DeWine’s veto to adopt a law that men posing as women cannot compete in women’s sports at the high school or college level, suggest parents skirt the law by simply calling their son their daughter, and not saying anything more.
See it:
The video is the result of a hidden-camera project that “exposes Ohio school officials coaching undercover journalists on how to skirt state law banning boys from competing in girls’ sports.”
A report at RedState explained, “Meet Tamette Duckworth, the assistant athletic director at Princeton City High School in the Cincinnati area. Duckworth is the boys’ volleyball coach for the school. However, an undercover journalist with Accuracy in Media sat down with Duckworth and fed her a story about being concerned about her transgender ‘daughter’ wanting to compete on the girls’ team and use the women’s facilities. The recording revealed that Duckworth basically directed this parent on how they could bypass Ohio’s laws, ‘discreetly.'”
The discussion revolves around the parents simply enrolling their son as a girl, but not saying anything more.
“If somebody did find out, the … especially if I said somebody named KAREN … I’m sorry, I shouldn’t be saying this,” Duckworth said.
Accuracy in Media explained that Duckworth advised the student “stay quiet and never reveal he is a boy.”
“Across multiple districts, we’ve uncovered officials encouraging parents to use updated birth certificates to conceal a child’s biological sex from other administrators, students, and parents. This reckless disregard for the law undermines fairness and endangers girls’ safety,” the organization explained.
RedState noted, “It is one thing for private citizens who do not agree with these laws to thumb their noses at the system. It is a whole other matter when a school or college administrator chooses to do the same.”
The report continued, “This is disturbing on a number of levels. First, you have an assistant athletic director who is supposed to be protecting the safety of all students and athletes and looking out for their best interests, who is basically throwing those interests out the window for a particular cause. One wonders what would prompt her to do so. Second, school choice advocate Corey DeAngelis did a deeper dive into this coach and discovered she earns over $100,000 a year. She certainly gets paid well to be a traitor to her sex. Third, Duckworth’s biography appears to show a woman who excels at her job, because her boys’ team has won trophies and commendations. So, what gives? As an achieving woman, why would Duckworth counsel a parent on how to bypass the rights of girls and women and work to undercut their achievements? Has she counseled any other parents in this manner?”
