西雅图市长表态支持学区就跨性别参赛禁令采取法律行动

西雅图市长威尔逊11月10日发表声明,支持西雅图公立学区就跨性别学生参赛禁令采取法律行动。学区董事会11月9日晚召开特别会议,以7比0全票通过2026/27-11号决议,授权学监聘请律师并就第638号倡议采取法律行动,但未说明诉讼的具体形式与时间。选民上周以近56%的支持率通过第638号倡议,该倡议将于12月3日生效,禁止男生参加指定女子校队比赛,并要求女运动员核实性别。董事会成员乔·米兹拉希表示,学区若执行该倡议将违反州内其他关于隐私与平等待遇的法律。市长威尔逊在声明中说,董事会的决定反映了教育工作者、家庭、社区领袖与西雅图市对该措施影响学生隐私、安全、尊严与平等受教育机会的共同关切,他承诺建设一个人人受到欢迎、支持与重视的城市。据报道,包括华盛顿美国公民自由联盟在内的团体计划在12月3日生效前提起诉讼。
Seattle Mayor Backs School District’s Legal Action Over Transgender Sports Ban
Seattle Mayor Wilson issued a statement on November 10 supporting Seattle Public Schools’ decision to take legal action over the transgender student sports ban. The school board, at a special meeting on the night of November 9, voted 7-0 to adopt Resolution 2026/27-11, authorizing the superintendent to hire counsel and take legal action regarding Initiative 638, without specifying the form or timing of a lawsuit. Voters approved Initiative 638 last week with nearly 56 percent support; it takes effect on December 3, bars boys from designated girls’ school teams and requires sex verification for female athletes. Board member Joe Mizrahi said carrying out the initiative would put the district in violation of other state laws on privacy and equal treatment. In his statement, Mayor Wilson said the board’s decision reflects concerns shared by educators, families, community leaders and the City of Seattle about the measure’s impact on student privacy, safety, dignity and equal access to education, and pledged to build a city where everyone is welcomed, supported and valued. Groups including the ACLU of Washington are reported to be planning a lawsuit before the December 3 effective date.
