Get your popcorn, folks. This is going to be a wild ride.
Let me introduce you to Martin Luther King High School. Located in Riverside, California, the school is the latest to be drawn into battle over the cultural issue of transgender-identifying athletes competing in female sports.

Over the last few weeks, students who attend the school have drawn significant attention in connection to an ongoing lawsuit. It involves two female cross country runners allegedly being banned from wearing t-shirts that say “Save Girls Sports.” The two teenagers allege that their shirts were being hit with swastika comparisons by school officials. Meanwhile, a transgender-identifying athlete was taking a coveted spot on the varsity cross country team from a female.
The situation further escalated when another member of the team, Rylee Morrow, gave a speech at a November 2024 school board meeting regarding her concerns about being forced to be in a locker room with someone identifying as transgender.
Well, things have continued to ratchet up as students are seen in a viral TikTok video claiming the school slapped them with an updated dress code which bans the “Save Girls Sports” shirts.
“When our school won’t let a girl wear this shirt who lost her varsity spot for a biological male so everyone wears them and they try to not let us into school, dress code us and keep us out of class for voicing our opinion and supporting a friend. Crazy how the world works,” a caption from the video reads.
While the original TikTok video has been deleted amid the whirlwind, reactions continue to gain steam across social media.
Sophia Lorey, the outreach director of California Family Council, claimed that over 150 students sported the “Save Girls Sports” t-shirts to school since things originally popped off, and how students who didn’t comply with the school’s updated code had to sit in the principal’s office for hours. Lorey went on to note that students will continue to wear the shirts consistently despite the school’s new rule.
Keep your eyes on Martin Luther King High School — it looks like a war just brewed up.
