Judge won’t order Lake Oswego schools to rehire track coach who objected to transgender athletes competing in girls meets

On Monday, a federal judge declined to mandate that the Lake Oswego School District hire John Parks, the former track coach for the Lake Oswego girls.

According to U.S. District Judge Michael H. Simon, Parks is likely to be successful in proving that the district violated his protected free speech by opening an investigation into him, which was prompted in part by an email Parks sent to the Oregon School Activities Association on May 15 protesting the participation of transgender athletes in girls’ track meets.
