INTERVIEW ON 180 RADIO STATIONS IN 30 STATES, THEN WORLDWIDE (AMERICAN FAMILY RADIO). President Trump has threatened to stop the financial support for California because they allow transgender athletes. Currently, there is a California transgender track athlete who is doing very well. The California Interscholastic Federation plans to implement a pilot plan at the upcoming state track and field championships in Clovis. Any biological female displaced by a transgender athlete at the Section meet, and did not receive an at-large invitation, would be able to participate at state. Transgenders would not be included in team scoring and there would be a potential for two categories in each girls event: trans athletes and biological girls. There will not be separate competitions for transgenders as they will still compete against the girls, but not displace girls in placing or count in team scoring. 4 WINDS USA president Steve McConkey believes this plan has flaws. There will be confusion because of a few athletes. Without Christian principles, people are getting further away from what is right. Without Christ, society will continue to sink. The California school system is using transgender athletes to further their bankrupt agenda.
