After receiving multiple complaints that both Austin ISD and Austin High have repeatedly allowed a biological male to use girls’ restrooms and locker rooms, Attorney General Ken Paxton’s office has sent a notice to the district advising them they are in direct violation of Senate Bill 8- the Women’s Privacy Act. The notice is the initial step before filing a lawsuit. The district has 15 days to cure the violations of the law.
“I will work tirelessly to hold Austin ISD accountable if it does not stop its unlawful, woke policy of allowing men to invade women’s spaces,” said Attorney General Paxton. “The law is clear that political subdivisions in Texas must not allow biological men to use girls’ bathrooms and locker rooms, yet Austin ISD has intentionally chosen to do that in violation of S.B. 8. I will explore every legal avenue to protect our students and ensure that women’s spaces are protected from mentally ill men who want to pretend they’re girls.”
