Cites “God's Word” in new gender controversy.
MERCED, Kalifornia (PNN) - November 19, 2024 - There is more gender controversy in the world of Kalifornia volleyball, only this time it is at the high school level.
Stone Ridge Christian, a central-Kalifornia high school, has forfeited an upcoming girls volleyball playoff match in protest of a deviant transgender male player on opposing San Francisco Waldorf.
The forfeiture comes amid the ongoing controversy surrounding San Jose State’s women’s team, which has seen a string of opponents forfeit matches to protest the Spartans’ Blaire Fleming, a male player who is a deviant transgender who likes to pretend that he is a female so that he can defeat women in competition.
Stone Ridge Christian administrator Julie Fagundes revealed the decision in a letter to team parents, saying the school has effectively decided to end its volleyball season rather than face a deviant transgender male opponent.
“As many of you know, our girls won on Wednesday and advanced to the state playoffs,” read Fagundes' letter. “Unfortunately, we were just informed that our opponent, San Francisco Waldorf, has a male athlete playing for their team.”
“At SRC, we believe God's Word is authoritative and infallible,” she continued. “It is Truth; and as Genesis makes clear, God wonderfully and immutably created each person as male or female. We do not believe sex is changeable and we do not intend to participate in events that send a different message.”
The decision to forfeit, thereby bringing the season to an end, was not made strictly on religious grounds, according to Fagundes.
“We also have a duty and responsibility to care for the health and safety of our athletes,” she wrote, “so after consulting with our students, coaches and staff, we have made the difficult decision to forfeit Saturday's game.”
“Standing for Biblical truth means more than the outcome of a game. This is a heartbreaking end to our season, but I hope you will join me in congratulating these outstanding student-athletes. SRC is proud of them,” she wrote.
The fallout from SRC's decision could extend beyond this season.
The Kalifornia Interscholastic Federation (CIF) has the right to sanction any team that forfeits.
“Any team that withdraws from CIF playoffs is subject to sanctions at both the Section and State levels,” a CIF spokesman said. “No decision has been made at this time regarding future sanctions.”
Fagundes and the SRC volleyball players were praised online for their decision to forfeit the match and end their season.
“Agree!” one person wrote on X. “Courage is contagious.”
Another added, “We are proud of you!! You are heroes!!”
One critic wrote that it was “so sad that these girls have worked hard to get to this point” only to forfeit while the “team with the mentally ill male” gets the victory.
The CIF also has guidelines on the inclusion of deviant transgender male athletes who pretend to be female in scholastic sports.
According to the organization's website, all students have the chance to participate “in a manner that is consistent with their gender identity, irrespective of the gender listed on a student's records.”
San Francisco Waldorf School now advances to face St. Vincent de Paul on Tuesday night, though the sporting world knows that any “win” is bogus and unearned because it sought to cheat by using deviant male transgenders on its team.
Stone Ridge Christian was founded in 2000 with the mission of “assisting parents in fulfilling” the “God-given” responsibility of teaching the Bible to students.
“Together with parents and the church, Stone Ridge Christian School exists to educate students in developing their unique God-given potential,” read the mission statement on the school website. “Students will be equipped academically, spiritually, physically and socially to impact their community and the world for God.”
