Jurupa Valley turned to the forfeits in a statement to Pakinomist Digital.
“We understand and recognize the disappointment of our Jurupa Valley High School athletes who are ready and ready to play. Decisions to cancel matches were made by teams in other districts,” the statement reads.
“As a public school district of California, JUSD is forced to follow the law that protects students from discrimination based on gender identity and requires students to be allowed to participate in athletic teams that are in line with their gender identity (California’s Education Code 221.5 (F)). This is in accordance with the California Law Attorney Rob Bonta and California’s State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond.
“We are proud of our JVHS JAGUARS and their willingness to play any team and represent their school and our district with pride. We are currently working to find further matches to give them that opportunity.”
Pakinomist Digital has reached the RIM of the World and Orange Vista for comment.
National attention was thrown back at the Jurupa Valley High School when Riverside Poly High School’s Girls Volleyball team announced that it lost a 15th August game in a statement. Several parents of Riverside Poly players and a school guidance member told Pakinomist Digital that the forfeiture was in response to the Trans at the Jurupa Valley, AB Hernandez.
Hernandez’s mother, Nereyda Hernandez, turned to the recent controversy in an exclusive statement to Pakinomist Digital.
“I understand the discomfort some might feel because I was once there too. The difference is, I chose to learn to grow and open my heart,” she said.
“Believe me, I know some people really don’t understand what it means to be transgender. I still learn, right next to my child. That’s why I choose not to respond with anger or respect. Instead, I choose empathy because learning takes time and compassion makes all the difference.”

The statement continued, “My baby is petite, what sets her apart is not her size or strength, but her skill and the way she plays the game … This is a child and I can assure you that she sees your daughters as friends, as teammates, like friends, not through a lens of something that is dishonest.
“Finally I leave you with this: My child is so innocent, she wasn’t even aware that the lost games were because of her.
Jurupa Valley and Hernandez were previously subject to national control during the spring course and field season as the trans -athlete drove to two girls’ state titles in long jump and triple jumps.
The autumn season meets that Hernandez competed in, was met with protests by female athletes and their families, often wearing “Save Girls Sports” jerseys. The events seemed to draw a response from President Donald Trump, who published a truth social message the week that led to the state final advising the state not to give a trans -athlete the opportunity to compete. However, Trump did not directly refer to Hernandez directly in the position.
Then, in July, the US Ministry of Justice brought a lawsuit against California Department of Education (CDE) and CIF for its policies that have enabled biological men to compete in girls’ sports throughout the state, despite Trump signing an executive order in February to ban it.
Now Hernandez, senior, is in the middle of the athlete’s last high school volleyball season, performed with even more controversy in the middle of the growing string of lost.
Munoz, who says her daughter has played with Hernandez on the girls’ volleyball team for the past three years, is the first parent of one of the transport’s teammates who speaks against the school for her handling of the situation.
“It makes me feel sad, it makes me feel angry, frustrated, just so many emotions,” Munoz told Pakinomist Digital.
After the poly forfeding of Riverside, local parents showed up at Riverside Unified School District Board meeting on Thursday to speak in support of the girls who lost and against the school district of their current gender policies, while others spoke in support of trans athletes in girls’ sports.
Nereyda Hernandez showed up to defend ABS right to play in girls’ sports and condemned board member Amanda Vickers for having previously interviewed with Pakinomist Digital about the forfeiture last week.
“Amanda Vickers, you interviewed with Fox. You entertained and actually welcomed the harassment of my child. You are a board member. You have an oath to protect, to support all children, not just those who fit your ideas, your beliefs,” said Hernandez.
“When you allow or tolerate targeted harassment, whether online, personal or allowing false tales to be spread at board meetings, you only fail morally.

“My daughter is not the problem. The problem is coordinated external efforts often led by individuals traveling from district to district … to spread fears and put parents against each other using religion as a shield for discrimination. This has nothing to do with justice in sports and everything to do with erasing transnry children.”
A mother, Maria Carrillo, spoke in support of Riverside Poly players and condemned parents who allowed male children to play in girls’ sports.
“The girls, a good job. Polypiger, we stand with you. Continue to fight because these parents who support their confused child are the problem,” Carrillo said. “If my child was on drugs, I would love him, but guess what? I would tell him the truth; drugs are bad for you. I wouldn’t feed him more drugs.”
Jurupa Valley Girls’ volleyball season is set to run through mid -October.
Meanwhile, Trump has not taken an eye on California for his tros against title IX with DOJ’s trial now in motion. The president warned California and Head of Government Gavin Newsom about the state’s transient politics in a speech on truth social Thursday.
“Any California school district that does not comply with our transient policies will not be funded. Thank you for your attention to this case!” Trump wrote in the post.
