Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton is taking legal action against the Dallas Independent School District, accusing it of violating state law by allowing transgender students to participate in sports teams that align with their gender identity.
Paxton has filed a petition to depose school officials under oath as part of an investigation into whether the district is circumventing Texas laws that restrict transgender athletes. The move follows the release of a recording in which a school administrator allegedly discussed a loophole in the state’s ban. Paxton claims the district may be enabling 'biological males' to compete in girls’ sports, which he argues is unlawful under current Texas legislation.
The case highlights ongoing tensions over transgender rights and school policies in the state.

Glad to see Paxton standing up for common sense—girls' sports should be for actual girls, not based on how someone identifies.
