Parents of the UPenn women's swim team are demanding the NCAA change rules that have permitted transgender swimmer Lia Thomas to compete
'At stake here is the integrity of women's sports,' they wrote in the letter obtained by DailyMail.com
The NCAA has yet to respond to the letter, sent December 5
The parents who spoke with DailyMail.com asked not to be identified fearing dire repercussions for their children
One mother noted that her daughter, like her teammates, is afraid to speak out about the controversy, knowing it will draw scrutiny no matter what they say
'The swimmers have mixed feelings,' she explained. 'Many of them want to speak up, but they don't because they believe they'll be ostracized
'Everybody is scared,' the mom added. 'Parents are also scared that the kids will be harmed. We are paying $80,000 for this school. Their life will be impacted'
Just wondering how this board felt about this.
