An Oregon high school track and field coach says his First Amendment rights were violated when a local school district terminated his contract for sending letters to state officials, advocating for a change in laws concerning transgender athletes. John Parks had been the head track and field coach at Lake Oswego High School outside of Portland from Jan.
Parks told Fox News Digital on Monday he feels he was 'vilified' for standing up for girls' right to compete fairly.
Aside from insisting that he aimed to protect girls' right to fair sports competitions, he argued that his ability to express his opinions to officials should be protected by the First Amendment. He also emphasized that he wants what's best for everyone involved – including transgender competitors. 'I'm fully supportive of transgender rights and every other aspect,' he said.
