A recent undercover video has sparked controversy, showing a San Antonio Independent School District (SAISD) employee seemingly suggesting that parents are the source of problems when biological males wish to participate in girls' sports. This incident clashes with the 2025 executive order signed by former President Donald Trump, which aimed to prevent biological males from competing in female sports.

The video, shared by education policy expert Corey DeAngelis, features Arthur Elizondo, a constituent specialist at SAISD, conversing with an undercover journalist posing as the mother of a biological boy who identifies as female and wants to join a girls' sports team. Elizondo appears to dismiss concerns about the altered birth certificate, stating, "I don’t think anybody’s going to raise any problems with that." When the journalist mentions parental pushback as the main obstacle her "daughter" faced, Elizondo replies, "Sure, that’s who creates all the problems."

The incident escalated when Adam Guillette, president of Accuracy in Media (the organization behind the undercover operation), confronted Elizondo. Elizondo reportedly refused to clarify his comments and even appeared to physically push Guillette away.

This controversy directly contradicts Trump's "No Men in Women's Sports" executive order, which aimed to protect fair athletic opportunities for women and girls. The order specifically states a policy of withholding funds from educational programs that permit male participation in women's sports, citing safety, fairness, dignity, and truth as justifications.

DeAngelis criticized the SAISD official's remarks, highlighting the irony of an employee in the Office of Family Engagement suggesting that parents are the problem. He also pointed out that this is not an isolated incident, claiming that several Texas school districts have explored ways to circumvent state laws protecting girls' sports. DeAngelis advocated for school choice, empowering parents to select institutions aligned with their values.
