Outraged Parents Lash Out at NCAA Over Transgender Swimmer’s Dominance PJ Media

At stake here is the integrity of women s sports, the group of 10 parents wrote. The precedent being set one in which women do not have a protected and equitable space to compete is a direct threat to female athletes in every sport. What are the boundaries? How is this in line with the NCAA s commitment to providing a fair environment for student-athletes?

The Daily Mail reports why the parents are so concerned for their daughters on the swim team.

One parent, who asked not to be identified for fear of repercussions for herself and her daughter, told DailyMail.com,  The swimmers have mixed feelings. Many of them want to speak up, but they don t because they believe they ll be ostracized.

Everybody is scared, the mom added. Parents are also scared that the kids will be harmed. We are paying $80,000 for this school. Their life will be impacted.

The letter went to both the NCAA and the university on Dec. 5. The NCAA has yet to respond, but the University of Pennsylvania weighed in. The school s brief reply centered on the acceptance of all athletes especially Thomas and invoked that magical liberal totem of inclusivity.
