Washington School District Removes Unauthorized Testosterone Vials from Pride Display

The Bethel School District in Washington state removed testosterone vials from a Pride display at Graham-Kapowsin High School after determining they were added without authorization. The district stated that some vials still contained a small amount of unknown liquid. Douglas Boyles, the district's director of communications, confirmed that the inclusion of the vials was unauthorized and that the individuals responsible have been identified. The district is reviewing its display oversight protocols to ensure compliance with educational standards and community expectations. The reason for including the vials in the display has not been clarified, nor has it been confirmed if they were intended to represent gender-transition treatments. The display also featured a transgender flag, an LGBTQ paper fan, and a book titled "Pink, Blue, and You." Pierce County Sheriff Keith Swank announced that his office would be investigating the matter.
