Democrats are super excited about Direct Democracy, ie, citizens voting directly on initiatives, right up till Democrats lose
The statement was 148 words. Not one of those words was “girls.”
Tuesday, Seattle Mayor Katie Wilson said that she was going to back the Seattle School Board’s unanimous vote to pursue legal action against Initiative 638 — which would enforce separation of boys and girls in K-12 sports in Washington state.
Voters passed the measure by a 13-point margin last week, and it won in 36 of the Evergreen State’s 39 counties. But after deliberating behind closed doors Monday, the Seattle School Board voted publicly to authorize potential legal action against the measure without hearing public testimony. And the mayor fully approves.
“Last night, the Seattle Public Schools Board of Directors voted to authorize legal action regarding Initiative 638. The Board’s decision reflects concerns shared by educators, families, community leaders, and the City of Seattle about the measure’s impact on student privacy, safety, dignity, and equitable access to educational opportunities.
“For nearly two decades, Washington schools and the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association have relied on policies designed to ensure all students can participate fully in school life. As those longstanding protections face new challenges, we affirm the rights of transgender youth and stand with them and their families.
Why are Democrats so in favor of forcing women to have to play sports against biological men with mental illness.
Remember, Seattle was one of the epicenters of the “No Kings” movement, where tens of thousands rallied against a president they accused of disregarding the will of the people. Yet when Washington voters overwhelmingly supported a measure Wilson opposes, she had no problem backing an effort to overturn it. Apparently, the will of the people is only worth defending when the people vote the right way.
Hypocrisy is nothing new from Democrats.
This sounds great to an untrained ear, but what Wilson is really saying is this: If you’re a boy who wants to identify as a girl, you should have the right to dominate females in sports. The dozen or so girls’ cross-country runners from Camas, who walked off the start line to protest their male teammate competing as a female? They don’t matter. Battle Ground High cross country runner Elise Bierer, who broke down in tears after sacrificing a race for the same cause? Irrelevant. Tumwater High student Frances Staudt, who is regularly cursed at by classmates for refusing to compete against a boy in a basketball game? Collateral damage.
Young women lose their earned wins, lose spots on teams because of the gender confused, lose scholarships, have to have penis in their locker rooms, and can even get hurt. And now the Democrat hardcores will sue to allow all this to continue to happen, because of “inclusion”, you know. And to hell with what the voters overwhelmingly voted to stop.
Just like in California when voters passed Preposition 8. Then a single democratic party judge vetoed it because the people wanted something different than the Party wanted.
Aren’t these dimbulbs part of the herd squaking “but DEMOCRACY!!!!!” whenever people disagree with them?
Sorry; rhetorical. You know the answer.
