Male player on women's team at private San Francisco high school nearly outscores entire opposing team
He's an average male player killing it on the women's team
I’ll start with a video this time, then write a bit.
The San Francisco Waldorf School girls’ basketball team fields a male player. His name is Henry Hanlon and he’s scored about half the team’s points for the year! Despite missing one of the eight games.
Here’s what the San Francisco Waldorf School says about DEI on their website:
San Francisco Waldorf School seeks to establish and maintain an inclusive learning environment in which differences are understood and celebrated. Diversity, equity, and inclusion are embraced as a strengthening principle across all areas of the school community. We strive to sustain a demographic that reflects the great diversity of the Bay Area, and we acknowledge that growth is an ongoing process that calls on the qualities of commitment and respect, which lie at the heart of our mission.
This school costs $56,000 a year. How a faux hippie dippie school like this can promote the idea of “inclusion” when the vast majority of people are excluded simply because of the $56,000/year price tag is beyond me. These people and institutions are such a joke I don’t even know what to say about it anymore. Who buys this garbage?
And don’t get me started on these exclusive institutions during covid. Preaching about “we’re all in this together” . . . the private schools like Waldorf all opened in the Fall of 2020, while public schools remained closed for a full year beyond that. Poor kids suffered. Rich kids went to school. Do you think anyone from Waldorf spoke out and advocated in all their inclusivity that the kids who couldn’t afford the $50k price tag should also get to go to school? No fucking way. I was there.
Anyway, I’ve always found Waldorf particularly annoying with all their rules for families.
So here’s the situation with the dude who towers over all the girls on his own team:
With all the gains of late — the House passing a bill to protect women’s sports (which is not yet law, doesn’t anyone remember “I’m just a bill” from School House Rocks?) and a federal court in Kentucky vacating the illegal Biden Title IX re-write — I think it’s important to note that we are no where near done with this fight for reality. (I know, you’re sick of me saying this.)
Just this week, Henry Hanlon — a male high school basketball player in San Francisco, California who identifies as a woman and competes for the San Francisco Waldorf school — nearly outscored the entire opposing girls' team by scoring 29 points in a 59-33 win over Jewish Community High School.
Hanlon dominates the girls on the floor and towers over his opponents and teammates. Hanlon is the team's leading scorer by almost 100 points over the next closest teammate. Hanlon averages over 21 points per game.
He has scored 150 of the team's 317 total points this season despite not playing in one of the team's eight games. So nearly half the team’s points this year have been scored by Hanlon.
Hanlon plays not one, not two, but three sports. Basketball, volleyball and soccer. In November, a Christian high school forfeited a volleyball playoff game against San Francisco Waldorf because of the male athlete. They said it was a matter of health and safety.
In the high school division in California, there is no hormone testing or any oversight of athletes who choose to self ID as the opposite sex. So Hanlon can say he is female and play in the women’s division. And use the girls locker room. No questions asked.
The Waldorf School is a private school and governed by the California Interscholastic Federation. Typically Title IX would not govern private high schools. So even if the Senate follows through to legislate that Title X protects the sex-based rights of those born genetically female (that is so redundant, but that’s what would happen . . . the legislation would say you’re only female if you are XX), the Waldorf School would likely fall outside of that. (I realize some private schools take federal funding and are subject to Title IX but I’d venture to guess that this school would continue to welcome men on their women’s teams because 1. it’s San Francisco, 2. they’d want prove how “inclusive” and right they are.
The left leaning states and cities and schools will continue to allow males to compete in women’s sports. I have zero doubt about that. They are retrenching and getting ready to push back and now they really feel like put-upon underdogs fighting the man. This new administration and groundswell of support for sanity will only strengthen their resolve. Hold the line.
It's astonishing that schools like Waldorf are so focused on providing every opportunity for boys who think they are girls that they overlook the rights and safety of the actual girls. Actual girls don't matter. Or maybe they just want to win...?
Every single parent, teacher, coach, student or staff member, from both schools participating in this charade of DEI "fairness" designed to destroy women's sports deserve the absurdity of the outcome. There isn't one shred of honorable competition to celebrate as long as this continues. I am appalled at the lack of courage and stupidity that allows this nonsense to continue. When did parents stop parenting? More importantly, when did they become so cowed into silence that they no longer role model strength for their children? Grow a spine and find your damn voices!
