Influential high school administrator in Hawaii shrugs as boy competes in girls' track and field state championships



At least one male student was permitted to compete in the high school girls' track and field state championships in Hawaii last weekend, but a high-ranking official who helps determine state policies regarding high school athletics does not believe the male participant created an unfair competition.

Dean Cevallos is the principal of Kea'au High School, near Hilo on the Island of Hawaii. He is also the president of the Big Island Interscholastic Federation and the vice president of the Hawaii High School Athletic Association, which means he has power over the way high school athletics in his state are governed.

According to an X thread from the Independent Council on Women’s Sports, 'several' of the girls' relay teams at Kea'au High School — the same high school that Cevallos oversees — had two males on them, and at least one of those relay teams participated in the state championship

Cevallos told Island News that he knew a trans-identifying athlete — presumed to be a boy presenting as a girl — would be participating in the state's track and field competition but said that trans-identifying athletes competing as their gender identity does not violate Title IX or the spirit of fair play.

"I'm not troubled," Cevallos said. "I've read Title IX. I know what its contents are. I don't have an issue with it. I'm not going to interpret what it is that we as a Department of Education are asked to follow. I try to make it fair for all my students, whatever we do, and I make sure we follow our policies."

The Hawaii State Department of Education, Civil Rights Compliance Branch — which adopted "respect diversity" as its official mission — considers "gender identity and gender expression" to be subdivisions of the protected "sex" category.

Cevallos claimed he had not received any complaints about trans-identifying athletes participating in cross-sex competition and did not know how many such athletes would participate in the 2024 state track and field championships.

According to an X thread from the Independent Council on Women’s Sports, "several" of the girls' relay teams at Kea'au High School — the same high school that Cevallos oversees — had two males on them, and at least one of those relay teams participated in the state championship. Kea'au High School even went so far as to give one of those two trans-identifying boys its female Outstanding Athlete award, ICONS claimed.

ICONS further reported that the mother of one of the two Kea'au High School trans athletes insisted she actually has two sons on the Kea'au track team who identify as girls, though one of them apparently competes against other boys. "Two of these BEAUTIFUL transgender GIRLS are MY DAUGHTERS," an account named _sheylyn_ wrote on social media in response to Island News' report, according to a screenshot from ICONS.

"These are KIDS we are talking bout," sheylen added.

"Because of this [report] my daughter does not feel safe!!"

Thomas Massie continues advocating for US to leave NATO



Republican Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky is advocating for the U.S. to sever ties with the North Atlantic Treaty Organization.

"Hawaii is not covered by the NATO treaty. Some experts say that needs to change. I say, let's get the other 49 states out," Massie tweeted when sharing a CNN article titled, "This US state is not covered by the NATO treaty. Some experts say that needs to change."

GOP Sen. Mike Lee of Utah retweeted Massie and posed the question, "If NATO won't cover all of America, why should America cover all of NATO?"

— (@)

Massie has previously advocated for the U.S. to leave the NATO alliance.

"I would withdraw us from NATO," Massie said, according to a 2022 Washington Post article. "It's a Cold War relic. Our involvement should have ceased when the [Berlin] wall fell and the Soviet Union collapsed."

CNN reported that a State Department spokesperson suggested that while Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty does not extend to Hawaii, Article 4 should cover any scenario that could impact that state.

Article 5 reads, in part, "The Parties agree that an armed attack against one or more of them in Europe or North America shall be considered an attack against them all and consequently they agree that, if such an armed attack occurs, each of them, in exercise of the right of individual or collective self-defence recognised by Article 51 of the Charter of the United Nations, will assist the Party or Parties so attacked by taking forthwith, individually and in concert with the other Parties, such action as it deems necessary, including the use of armed force, to restore and maintain the security of the North Atlantic area."

Article 4 states, "The Parties will consult together whenever, in the opinion of any of them, the territorial integrity, political independence or security of any of the Parties is threatened."

Defense Sec. Lloyd Austin has said that NATO is critical to U.S. security.

"NATO is the strongest military alliance in history, and it is crucial for America's continued security," Austin claimed in a statement. "A secure America is impossible without a strong NATO."

Man holds at gunpoint suspected car thief until cops arrive; sources say he chased down suspect



A man chased down a suspected car thief last week in Maui and held her at gunpoint until police arrived, Hawaii News Now reported.

The station's story also noted that the incident raises continuing "concerns over concealed carry laws."

What are the details?

Hawaii News Now said a video "appears to show a Maui police officer arresting a woman while a man in plain clothes points a gun at her."

Hawaii Firearms Coalition Director Andrew Namiki Roberts told the station, “It’s a 45-second video. It is at the point of arrest. We don’t know what’s happened before that. But based on the video, and the way the person with the firearm is interacting with the police officer, it makes me believe that the person didn’t do anything wrong."

Maui Police told Hawaii News Now that the man seen holding the gun in the video isn't with the department and that the incident is "under review/investigation."

The station said sources indicated the man holding the gun chased down the woman who was driving a stolen vehicle in Wailuku on Feb. 11.

Roberts added to Hawaii News Now that the main reason why those with concealed carry permits can legally draw their guns is if their lives are in danger.

“In that situation, if the police officers arrived, maybe put your firearm away," Roberts told the station in regard to the video showing the man holding the gun. "The police officer has the situation under control, maybe there’s no need for you to have your firearm out at that point. That’s just a safety aspect for everybody involved.”

Roberts added to Hawaii News Now that "of course, we’re not going to recommend vigilantism. Don’t go chasing down looking for criminals. Vigilantism isn’t something that we would like to see. If you see a stolen vehicle, you’re probably better off calling the police, letting them come in and handle it instead of trying to detain a person.”

Anything else?

The station said arrest records indicate the 31-year-old woman was arrested for driving a stolen vehicle and that police records show she later was released pending further investigation. Hawaii News Now said it's unclear whether the man with the gun faced any charges.
