A volleyball team of the Women’s Secondary School in California saw two more games in its lost schedule in the middle of a continuous controversy that involved a trans athlete on its list.
Maribel Muñoz, the mother of a player in the Women’s Volleyball Team of Jurua Valley High School, provided digital copies of Pak Gazette messages sent by the team coach, Liana Manu, to the parents of players, informing them that the next games of the team against Rim of the World High School on August 25 and Orange High School August had been lost.

Jurupa Valley went to losses in a statement to Pak Gazette Digital.
“We understand and recognize the disappointment of our athletes from Jurupa Valley High School that are ready and prepared to play. Decisions to cancel matches were taken by teams in other districts,” reads the statement.
“As a public school district in California, Jusd is forced to follow the law, which protects students from discrimination based on gender identity and requires that students are allowed to participate in sports teams that are consistent with their gender identity (California Education Code of California 221.5 (f)). This is consistent with the guide provided by the Attorney General of California Rob Bonta and the Superintendent of Public Instruction of California Tony Thurmond.
“We are proud of our JVHS Jaguares and his willingness to play any team and represent his school and our district with pride. We are currently working to find additional matches to give them that opportunity.”
Pak Gazette Digital has communicated with Rim of the World and Orange Vista to Comment.
National attention was re -entered into jurupa Valley High School when the Riverside Poly High School’s female volleyball team announced that it lost a game of August 15 in a statement. Multiple parents of Riverside Poly Players, and a member of the School Board, told Pak Gazette Digital that the loss was in response to the Trans athlete in Juraupa Valley, Ab Hernández.
Hernández’s mother, Nereyda Hernández, addressed the recent controversy in an exclusive declaration of Pak Gazette Digital.
“I understand the discomfort that some may feel, because I was also there. The difference is that I chose to learn, grow and open my heart,” he said.
“Believe me, I know that some people do not understand what it means to be transgender. I am still learning, just next to my son. That 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 statement continued: “My baby is small, what distinguishes it is not its size or strength, but its ability and the way the game plays … This is a girl, and I can assure you that you see your daughters as colleagues, as teammates, as friends, not through a lens of anything inappropriate. I know it can be difficult to understand, but she is only another girl who wants to play.
“Finally, I leave you with this: my son is so innocent that he did not even realize that the lost games were due to her.
Jurupa Valley and Hernández were previously subject to national scrutiny during the spring athletics season, when the Trans athlete made a race towards the state titles of two girls in long jump and triple jump.
The postseason is in which Hernández competed was received with protests by female athletes and their families that often wore the “Save Girls Sports” shirts. The incidents seemed to extract a response from President Donald Trump, who published a social message of the truth the week prior to the final of the State, advising the State that does not allow a Trans athlete to compete. However, Trump did not refer directly to Hernández directly in the position.
Then, in July, the United States Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against California Department of Education (CDE) and CIF for their policies that have allowed biological men to compete in girls’ sports throughout the state even though Trump signed an executive order in February to prohibit it.
Now, Hernández, a last -year student, is in the middle of the last volleyball season of the athlete high school, which is being caused even more controversy in the middle of the growing loss series.
Muñoz, who says that his daughter has played with Hernández in the female volleyball team during the last three years, is the first father of one of the Trans athlete teammates in speaking against the school for her management of the situation.
“It makes me feel sad, it makes me feel angry, frustrated, so many emotions,” Muñoz told Pak Gazette Digital.
After the loss of Riverside Poly, the local parents appeared to the meeting of the Board of the Unified School District of Riverside on Thursday to speak in support of the girls who lost and against the school district for their current gender policies, while others spoke in support of Trans athletes in girls sports.
Nereyda Hernández, appeared to defend the right of AB to play in girls’ sports, and condemned the member of the Amanda Vickers Board for previously interviewing with Pak Gazette Digital about the loss of last week.
“Amanda Vickers, you interviewed with Fox. Actually, you entertained and received harassment of my son. You are a member of the Board. You have an oath to protect, to support all children, not only those who fit your ideas, your beliefs,” said Hernandez.
“When it allows or tolerates the directed harassment, either online, in person or allowing false narratives to spread at the meeting of the Board, it is only morally failing.

“My daughter is not the problem. The problem coordinated the external efforts led by individuals who travel from district to district … to spread fear and put parents with each other using religion as a shield for discrimination. This has nothing to do with justice in sports and everything to do with transgender children.”
A mother, Maria Correo, spoke in support of the players of Riverside Poly and the convicted parents who allowed boys to play in girls’ sports.
“The girls, a great job. Poly Girls, we stop with you. Keep fighting, because these parents who support their confused son are the problem,” said Correo. “If my son were drugged, I would love him, but he guesses what? I would say the truth; drugs are bad for you. I wouldn’t give him more drugs.”
The regular volleyball season of Girls from Jurupa Valley will run into mid -October.
Meanwhile, Trump has not brought his attention from California for his challenge to title IX with the demand of the Department of Justice now in motion. The president warned California and Governor Gavin Newsom about the transgender policies of the State in a publication about Truth Social on Thursday.
“Any California school district that does not adhere to our transgender policies, will not be funded. Thank you for your attention on this matter!” Trump wrote in the publication.
