A former high school coach is taking legal action against the school district that terminated him after he proposed a different competitive division for transgender athletes.
Attorneys for John Parks, a track and field coach in Oregon, filed a lawsuit on Thursday against the school district where he previously worked. The Lake Oswego School District, which oversees Lake Oswego High School, and the Lake Oswego School Board fired him last month after he sent a letter to state officials concerning laws related to transgender athletes.
Parks recently made an appearance on OutKick's 'Gaines for Girls' podcast, which is hosted by former collegiate swimmer Riley Gaines. Parks said the moments leading up to the women's 400-meter event were filled with high levels of stress for the athletes he coached and their parents. A biological male runner, who identified as a female, competed in the race.
