The radical agenda of the left strikes again, this time in Washington state, where Superintendent of Public Instruction Chris Reykdal finds himself squarely in the crosshairs of President Trump’s Title IX investigative team. Trump’s administration is taking bold, decisive action against what many parents rightly see as an assault on common sense and basic biological reality. The issue at heart: Reykdal’s shocking assertion that it is “inaccurate” to say there are only two genders, and his insistence that schools must allow biological males to compete in girls’ sports.
This isn’t just a local spat; it’s a fundamental battle for the soul of our country. It speaks directly to the core MAGA values that President Trump has championed from day one—protecting our children, our families, and our traditions from the relentless encroachment of left-wing ideology. Trump’s Department of Education Secretary Linda McMahon has stepped forward to confront this issue head-on, announcing a federal investigation into Reykdal’s office for potentially violating federal law and parental rights.
“Washington state appears to use its position of authority to coerce its districts into hiding ‘gender identity’ information from students’ parents and to adopt policies to covertly smuggle gender ideology into the classroom,” McMahon stated unequivocally. “If true, these are clear violations of parental rights and female equality in athletics, which are protected by federal laws that will be enforced by the Trump administration.”
This is exactly the kind of clear-eyed leadership parents have been crying out for. The Biden era may be behind us, but its disastrous legacy lingers, poisoning our schools with theories that defy basic biology and common sense. Superintendent Reykdal’s comments—that “it’s quite simply inaccurate” to recognize only boys and girls—are not just absurd; they’re dangerous. They open the door to confusion, chaos, and the erosion of women’s sports programs that generations have fought to build.
Reykdal has made clear he intends to defy Trump’s executive order, arrogantly stating he will follow Washington state’s laws rather than what he dismisses as “a president’s political leanings.” But this isn’t politics—this is about reality. It’s about fairness for female athletes, who now face the loss of opportunities, scholarships, and even physical safety as biological males enter their sports. It’s about parental rights, as Washington state pushes policies that keep parents in the dark about their children’s identity struggles.
Thankfully, school districts like Kennewick have had enough. Kennewick School Board President Gabe Galbraith told Fox News, “There’s boys participating in girls’ sports. There’s boys in girls’ locker rooms. It’s unfair. It’s not safe, and we’re asking the federal government to step in.” The Trump administration has heard this plea loud and clear.
The Tumwater School District has also shown courage, voting 3-1 to ban biological males from girls’ sports after an incident involving a transgender athlete sparked outrage. Yet, rather than support common sense, Reykdal’s office has doubled down, pressuring districts into compliance with its radical agenda.
President Trump’s executive order, aptly named “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports,” is straightforward and necessary. It’s a clear line in the sand against the left’s relentless war on reality. And with Secretary McMahon’s announcement of a federal probe, the Trump administration is showing that it will not sit idly by while radical ideologues trample on parental rights and women’s equality.
This issue goes beyond Washington state. It is a nationwide battle for common sense, parental authority, and the integrity of women’s sports. Trump’s leadership here is crucial, shining a spotlight on the issue and providing the tools to fight back. Parents, athletes, and school districts nationwide should take courage from the Trump administration’s decisive action. The battle lines are drawn, and the fight to preserve fundamental truths and freedoms is underway.
