He decided instead, "I will compete as a girl instead." And in just a few weeks, he went from the boys team to the girls team.

2:30Lars LarsonHOST
Now, that was bad enough, but the n- latest development covered by our friend, uh, uh, Ken Vance at Clark County today.
L
2:39Lars LarsonHOST
And I'm gonna frame the question this way, and I want you to ask yourself this and ask your coworkers this.
L
2:45Lars LarsonHOST
In fact, a- ask any adult you know who has children, would you let your teenage daughter share a hotel room with a biological male on an out-of-town school trip? Now, I think most people would immediately hear that question and they'd say, "Are you kidding me? Of course not." Now, there might be a few politically correct woke folks out there who'd say, "Well, as long as that biological male uses he, she pr-," uh, or he or she pronouns, uh, "well, I'd be okay with my 15-year-old daughter," or 14-year-old daughter, I mean, you could be that age and be on the high school cross country team, "share a hotel room on an out-of-town trip." Do you think that makes any sense? Do you think most of the adult parents you know would say yes to that kind of idea? Or would they immediately and categorically say, "Not a chance in hell.
L
3:42Lars LarsonHOST
They're chaperoned, but she's staying with other girls.
L
3:44Lars LarsonHOST
She is not staying with a biological male, even if he uses female pronouns." So you can find the X poll question, would you let your teenage daughter share a hotel room with a biological male on a school trip? And do you think it's appropriate for a school district to do such a thing? And did they notify the parents? And if they, if they didn't, then what are we talking about? I also know that Camas schools made some kind of report to the Camas police about some incident that happened on that trip, except now the police say, "We have no record of it." And the school is saying, "Well, it was only a verbal report, so we don't have a record of it," so conveniently, the public is kept from knowing anything about it.
L
4:27Lars LarsonHOST
And I admire Ken Vance at Clark County today for putting all those details in a story.
L
4:32Lars LarsonHOST
You end up reading it and feeling like, "I don't even know what just happened there," but I know that that's all they could get out of the school district because somebody at the school district is afraid of actually telling the parents and the taxpayers and the teachers and the students what's actually going on.
