A small school district burrowed in a deep-blue county is leading the charge against a nearly 20-year-old policy in Washington state that allows biological males to compete in girls’ high school sports, highlighting the growing divide surrounding transgender athletes.
After a biological male dominated girls’ track and cross-country contests, culminating with a championship win in the spring, Lynden School District board member Khush Brar launched a rallying cry. She convinced her district to push an amendment that would require the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association (WIAA), which sets the rules for middle and high school sports, to replace its transgender inclusion policy with one requiring student athletes to compete on teams aligning with their birth sex. Brar also won support from 13 other districts, after talking to around 100 school board members from across Washington.
“Everybody just wants to have a solution,” Brar told the Washington Free Beacon, emphasizing that she spoke on her own behalf and not for the school board. “It’s a problem that we don’t have a fair, equitable, level playing field for females in Washington state.”
Brar, a first-generation immigrant, rallied enough support to force the WIAA to consider the Lynden amendment, with a vote set for April. Another amendment on the table—developed in tandem by a school district in deep-red Douglas County—would similarly bar biological males from competing in girls’ sports, but also create a third category that’s open to any student athlete regardless of sex.
Victory is far from assured. The WIAA’s 53-member representative assembly, made up of school administrators from across the state, will discuss and finalize the language ahead of the April vote, according to WIAA’s communications director. […]

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
