A volleyball team for the women’s high school in California has seen two other games on its lost calendar in the middle of a continuous controversy involving a trans athlete on his list.

Maribel Munoz, the mother of a player of the Jurupa Valley High School women’s volleyball team, provided digital copies of Fox News messages sent by the team coach, Liana Manu, to the parents of players, informing them that the upcoming matches of the team against Rim of the World High School on August 25 and Orange Vista High School on August 29 confronted.

Jurupa Valley addressed the plans in a declaration to Fox News Digital.

“We understand and recognize the disappointment of our athletes from the Jurupa Valley High School who are ready and ready to play. Decisions to cancel matches have been taken by teams in other districts,” the statement said.

“As a public school district in California, the juD is forced to follow the law, which protects students from discrimination based on gender identity and requires that students be authorized to participate in sports teams who comply with their gender identity (California Education Code 221.5 (F)). This is in accordance with the directives provided by the California Attorney General Rob Bonta and the Director of Public Instruction of the State of California Tony Thurmond.

“We are proud of our JVHS Jaguars and their desire to play any team and represent their school and our district with pride. We are currently working to find additional matches to give them this opportunity.”

Fox News Digital contacted Rim of the World and Orange Vista to comment.

The national attention was rejected at Jurupa Valley secondary school when the Riverside Poly High School women’s volleyball team announced that it had lost a match of August 15 in a statement. Several parents of Riverside Poly Players, and a member of the School Board, told Fox News Digital that confiscation was in response to the Trans athlete on Jurupa Valley, Ab Hernandez.

Hernandez’s mother Nereyda Hernandez addressed recent controversy in an exclusive declaration to Fox News Digital.

“I understand the discomfort that some can feel, because I was also there. The difference is that I chose to learn, grow and open my heart,” she said.

“Believe me, I know that some people really do not understand what it means to be transgender. I always learn as well, alongside my child. This is why I choose not to respond with anger or lack of respect. Instead, I choose empathy, because learning takes time and compassion makes all the difference.”

The declaration continued: “My baby is small, what distinguishes her is not her size or her strength, but her competence and the way she plays the game … It is a child, and I can assure you that she considers your girls as peers, as a teammates, as an older, not through a lens of all that is inappropriate. I know that it can be difficult to understand, but she is not another girl who wants to play.

“Finally, I leave you with this: my child is so innocent, she did not even realize that the confiscated games were because of her.”

Jurupa Valley and Hernandez were previously the subject of a national exam during the track and spring field season, when the Trans athlete sank with two state titles for girls in long jump and triple jump.

The post-season meetings in which Hernandez participated in demonstrations by female athletes and their families who often wore “Save Girls Sports” shirts. The incidents seemed to draw a response from President Donald Trump, who published a social message of truth the week preceding the final state advisor to the State not to allow a Trans athlete to compete. However, Trump did not refer Hernandez directly into the position.

Then, in July, the United States Ministry of Justice filed a complaint against California Department of Education (CDE) and California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) CIF for its policies which allowed organic men to compete with the sports of girls through the State despite the signing of an executive decree in February to prohibit it.

Now, Hernandez, a senior, is in the middle of the last volleyball season of the athlete’s high school, which is even more controversial in the middle of the increasing channel of packages.

Munoz, who says that his daughter has played alongside Hernandez in the women’s volleyball team for three years, is the first parent of one of the teammates of the Trans athlete to denounce the school for his management of the situation.

“It makes me sad, it makes me angry, frustrated, so many emotions,” Munoz told Fox News Digital.

After the Riverside Poly Package, the local parents presented themselves at the meeting of the Riverside Unified School District Council on Thursday to express themselves to support the girls who lost and against the school district for its current gender policies, while others have spoken to support the trans athletes in the sports of girls.

Nereyda Hernandez, arose to defend AB’s right to play in girls sports and condemned Amanda Vickers, member of the board of directors, for previously interviewed Fox News Digital about the package last week.

“Amanda Vickers, you have interviewed Fox. You have really entertainment and welcomed harassment to my child. You are a member of the board of directors. You have an oath to protect, to support all children, not just those who correspond to your ideas, your beliefs,” said Hernandez.

“When you allow or tolerate targeted harassment, whether online, in person or by allowing the false stories to be distributed during meetings of the Board of Directors, you fail only morally.

“My daughter is not the problem. The problem is external efforts coordinated often led by individuals who travel from a district to the district … to spread fear and put parents against each other using religion as shield for discrimination. This has nothing to do with equity in sport and everything to do with the erasure of transgender children.”

A mother, Maria Carrillo, spoke to support the players of Riverside Poly and condemned parents allowing male children to play in the sports of girls.

“Girls, excellent work. Poly Girls, we stick to you. Continue to fight, because these parents who support their confused child are the problem,” said Carrillo. “If my child was taking drugs, I would like him, but guess what? I would tell him the truth; the drugs are bad for you. I would not feed him more drugs.”

The regular volleyball season of Jurupa Valley’s girls is expected to take place until mid-October.

Meanwhile, Trump did not take the eye of California for his challenge to title IX with the Doj trial now in motion. The president warned California and Governor Gavin Newsom of transgender policies of the state in an article on TRUTH Social Thursday.

“Any school district of California who does not adhere to our transgender policies will not be funded. Thank you for your attention to this question!” Trump wrote in the post.
