Speaker 1 (00:00):
Seven. Now I'm Houston's warning to news. Back in twenty
twenty one, the Texas legislator passed HB twenty five, which
prohibits public schools from allowing students to compete in a
district or school sponsored interscholastic athletic competition designed for the
biological sex opposite to the student's biological sex. That's wow,
that's that sounds like the way lawmakers would write it

(00:22):
a law. Right, But even that's relatively clear. Boys can't
play girls' sports here in Texas. But there has been
an investigative journalist group that is claiming several North Texas
school districts are actively trying to bypass that state law.
And he says he has video evidence to prove it.
Joint us to talk about it is Corey Dangelis, a
senior fellow with the American Culture Project. You broke the story, Corey.

Speaker 2 (00:47):
Yeah, look at a lot of people were surprised at the
title of the person who was interviewed at the school district.
This was Dallas Independent School District, and we caught on
camera the LGBTQ You Youth Program coordinator and administrative position
there basically coaching an investigative journalist who is posing as

(01:08):
a parent trying to get her biological boy into girls sports.
Coaching that parent on how to circumvent that law that
you just mentioned in Texas to try to quote find
the loopholes to get around that law, and we have
it on camera.

Speaker 3 (01:24):
It's posted on my x account. A lot of people
were surprised that position even existed. I don't even know
what an LGBTU youth program coordinator is doing in the
schools right now, but this is just the first of
many videos to come. We have other Texas school districts
where they're doing basically the same thing. So I think
parents will be very surprised to learn, and they are.

(01:45):
It's blowing up on social media right now. The first
district alone that the school districts aren't actually trying to
follow the law. In fact, they're trying to do things
that would make parents an happy to allow biological boys
to play and grow sports, or at least try to
figure out ways to do so.

Speaker 1 (02:02):
Have you found any of those isds in the greater
Houston area.

Speaker 3 (02:09):
Know the first few are in the Dallas area, and
another one should be coming today. That'll that I'll release
on social media. But it's multiple districts. It wasn't really
hard to figure out. But these people are bragging on
camera about how they're circumventing the law.

Speaker 1 (02:25):
How are they circumventing law? What what I mean? We've
learned the hard way here in Texas that just about
any law that's written by the Texas State legislature, a
really sharp individual, sharp attorney can find a loophole in it.
What's the loophole that they're trying to exercise in this law?

Speaker 3 (02:41):
This same group Accuracy in Media found undercover videos of
them circumventing the anti CRT law. For example, they were
just moving the goalpost. Oh we're not going to call
it CRT. We're not going to call it social emotional learning.
We'll call it something else. But do the same thing anyway.
And when it comes to this particular law, one of
the big quote unquote loopholes that they found is that, well,

(03:03):
if you have an updated birth certificate, I know that
the kid is born as a boy, but if you
can find a way to update the birth certificate. And
in this video in Dallas in particular, they're talking about, well,
if you moved from New Jersey, where they allowed that
to happen, and then you get to Texas with that
new updated birth certificate. Well, then that's the birth certificate

(03:25):
they're gonna go based off. But they're not gonna go
based on biology. They're going to go based on So
there's that's one of the loopholes that they found the
law that they were very proud about. This person in Dallas, ISD,
the youth program coordinator for LGBTQ, her name is Mahogany
guest On, and she's bragging about how to this so
this quote unquote parent that she she she would probably

(03:48):
go to jail for saving a child's life. And and
I don't I can't connect the dots there. I don't
think you know, that's saving anybody's life to to play
in the opposite sexist sport.

Speaker 1 (04:00):
And in fact, in some sports here but in some
sports it might be.

Speaker 3 (04:03):
Endangering heiro for getting around the wall.

Speaker 1 (04:05):
You might be endangering somebody's life depending on the sport.
I mean, we've seen the videos of some of those
you know, boys playing girls volleyball and some of the
damage they've done.

Speaker 3 (04:14):
All right, journalists the journalist brought that up and said, well,
you know, there could be you know an injury and
I just want you to stick up for my my
transgender daughter. And the administrator basically laughed about it. I
don't know if that she laughed because she was uncomfortable
or because she thought it was not a big deal,
but it was not a good look.

Speaker 1 (04:35):
Yeah, Well, they're probably laughing because they don't think the
state will do anything about it. And unfortunately they may
be right. You know, is the state willing to enforce
enforce their is fine to make a law, but you
have to be willing and able to enforce it, don't
you right, So I think we need.

Speaker 3 (04:50):
To close the loopholes obviously. I think that's one of
the benefits of the uncovered journalism. But then also we
should have bottom up accountability too. And it looks like
we're going to pass universal school choice this year, even
with Speaker Burrows winning the speakers race. Some conservatives aren't
happy about that, but I'm kind of okay with it. Look,
Burrows voted for school choice this a couple of times

(05:13):
in the past year or so, and he has listed
universal school choice as one of his priorities. So I
think we have the votes. According to Governor Abbott on
school choice, and look, if your school is circumventing the law,
you get a whip of that. You should be able
to go somewhere else.

Speaker 1 (05:31):
I agree. Corey Dangelis, thank you, sir, appreciate it. Senior
