Protesters advocating for transgender male athletes to continue participating in girls’ sports chanted “Hail Satan” at a California board meeting last Thursday.
According to Fox News, last week’s Chino Valley Unified School District (CVUSD) board meeting in San Bernardino County, California, included multiple speeches by protesters on opposite sides of the transgender sports issue. The outlet noted that police officials escorted one woman out of the board meeting who opposed the inclusion of transgender athletes in girls’ sports and cited the Bible to support her position.
On the other hand, protesters supporting the inclusion of transgender athletes in girls’ sports used graphic language and chanted “Hail Satan” during the school board meeting.
In a video shared on X, formerly Twitter, by CVUSD School Board President Sonja Shaw, one protester can be heard saying, “Y’all are all a bunch of transphobic pieces of sh-t. I hope y’all burn in hell. Hail Satan b-tches” as they walked out of the meeting.
Another protester can be heard saying, “Y’all are really afraid of authenticity and people being their own true selves. You’re afraid of love. You’re afraid of solidarity. Y’all are crazy… absolutely crazy.”
Christina Salazar, a parent of one of the students who spoke at Thursday’s meeting, told Fox News that her daughter’s speech was interrupted by the protesters’ chants. Salazar told the outlet, “There was even a teacher from my daughter’s school who was interrupting the meeting yelling and said ‘Hail Satan’ as he walked out and flipped everyone off.”

On Friday, Shaw told Fox News that the school board passed “several pro-parent and pro-female athlete resolutions that provide measures that protect girls sports and uphold the fundamental rights of parents to raise and guide their children without government interference or radical agendas.”
“In response, a small but loud group of outside agitators descended on our meeting, screaming, cussing and even chanting phrases like ‘Hail Satan’ all in front of families and children,” Shaw said.
The school board president told Fox News that the protesters allegedly tried to have outside groups rally at the school board meeting to “overwhelm” the school district. Shaw described the protester’s movement as a “complete embarrassment” that only succeeded in a “handful of angry, disruptive individuals trying to bully a community that’s working to protect kids and ensure that education remains focused on learning, not divisive ideologies.”
The school board president also told Fox News that she received a “violent and graphic death threat” prior to Thursday’s meeting due to her position against transgender athletes competing in girls’ sports. “This is the level of hatred and evil we’re up against,” Shaw said. “But no threat, no mob and no political machine will scare me into silence.”
