If you haven't head this story, it is worth a read an quite revealing on the lack of tolerance at OSPI. Darby Kaikkonen was a senior employee at OSPI and the board president for Tumwater School District. After she and her board voted in favor of a resolution supporting changes to WIAA rules to reserve girls sports for females only, she was placed on administrative leave and then terminated.

The situation appears to be a clear case of retaliation by elected officials and is absolutely vile. Link to article below with additional details.
