NEW: ACLU filed a state lawsuit over I-638 to get a friendlier court, knowing they will likely lose in federal court and SCOTUS Last night, the Seattle School Board voted to pursue legal options against I-638, the initiative to keep boys out of girls' sports During a press conference today, Seattle Public Schools Superintendent Ben Shuldiner, who is not a member of the board, said that the agency was examining legal options because there are parts of I-638 that conflict with state law and was looking for guidance I asked why there was so much discussion about not violating state law, but not about violating federal law, especially given how there are local cases about boys in girls' sports heading to SCOTUS. Shuldiner replied, “Federal law, of course, always supersedes state law, and I think that there is definitely a conversation within the board around where we're trying to get guidance from right now." He added, "I do believe that if the federal law says, 'actually, this is totally fine, and this is what you have to do, you got to do the will of the people." Shuldiner continued, "My initial read is that what happened yesterday was that they're doing a lawsuit within the state; I think that's probably political in nature because they are interested in having the Washington state courts respond to a Washington state initiative."
