They tell us it's not really happening.

We'll tell that to Jefferson County in Colorado that has 61 boys competing on girls

sports teams.

That is in one county.

Welcome back to the show.

Today I'm super excited.

We are talking to a true warrior for girls. She is a friend of mine. I've had the honor of standing with her before. Her name is

Lindsay Datco. She's the founder of Jeff Co. Kids First in Colorado. She is a wife. She is a mom.

She is a teacher. And she is one of the most relentless child advocates out there.

What started for her as a parent group pushing back during the pandemic has become really a force of thousands of parents in the state of Colorado, but really nationwide, fighting for transparency, fighting for safety, fighting for

parental rights. Again, this is in Jefferson County Public Schools. Her team at Jeffco

Kids First has documented 33 cases of sexual abuse, misconduct, and grooming by staff since

2022. That's only in less than four years, really, at this point.

These are cases that the district tried to bury entirely. But just last week, Lindsay and Jeffco

Kids First really helped deliver a massive Title IX victory. The U.S. Department of Education

ruled that Jeffco violated federal law by letting men, or I guess in this case, boys, into girls' bathrooms, locker rooms, overnight accommodations, and of course, even on girls' sports teams.

As I said, with boys occupying 61 girls' roster spots. This is exactly the fight that we have been in nationwide. And Lindsay,

she's really leading the charge in Colorado. So stay tuned here. Well, Lindsay, thank you for joining

the show. I was talking about you in the introduction and how the pandemic was one of your

kind of aha moment. Of course, you're a teacher,

your mom in Jefferson County. Can you talk about that I can't stay silent anymore moment that

led you ultimately to finding Jeffco Kids first? Yeah, and you know, both my mom and I are teachers
