Accuracy in Media has released a disturbing video that appears to show an Ohio school official coaching parents on how to circumvent laws keeping girls safe by keeping boys out of girls’ sports and spaces.
In 2023, Ohio Governor Mike DeWine vetoed House Bill 68, which sought to prohibit gender-affirming care for minors and to restrict transgender athletes’ participation in girls’ and women’s sports.
Last year, the State Senate voted to override DeWine’s veto.
But that didn’t stop an Ohio school official from brainstorming ways to bypass the law.
The video, shared by Accuracy in Media, shows undercover investigators, posing as prospective parents of a trans student, meeting with Princeton City Schools Assistant Athletic Director Tamette Duckworth.
The video shows Duckworth strategizing with investigators to help the alleged transgender student join the girls’ teams and access female facilities.
Per Accuracy in Media:
She advised enrolling the student with an updated birth certificate and not mentioning that they are biologically male when prompted by the AIM investigators.
“I would say whether it’s at Princeton or at another school I would suggest that,” Duckworth told them.
When asked if the student would be “fine,” so long as no one learned they were transgender, she said “yeah.”
“If somebody did find out then … especially if I said somebody named Karen,” Duckworth laughed and trailed off.
