T*********r Coach Changes in Locker Room With Shocked Pennsylvania High School Students
By Beth Brelje

Several incidents involving a t*********r, part-time high school tennis coach in Pennsylvania have made some students and parents uncomfortable. And now, the school board is divided on whether to renew the coach’s contract.

Employed at Gettysburg Area School District, the coach was hired as David Yates. Mr. Yates now goes by the name Sasha Yates, and publicly identifies as a t*********r woman, according to the Gettysburg Times.

Mr. Yates has been a seasonal boys and girls tennis coach since 2018. Sports news coverage of the Gettysburg tennis team used the name David Yates in 2021, but in 2022, the coach was being called Sasha Yates. The school district’s website lists an email address using the name Sasha, but click on the email address, and the name David appears. Mr. Yates did not respond to a request for comment on this story.

After several incidents involving students, one in the fall of 2022 and another in the spring of 2023, the school board had decided not to rehire Mr. Yates for another season. However, no replacement was hired and, to the surprise of some board members, in July, the name David Yates reappeared on the hiring list for another season of tennis coaching.

A v**e on Aug. 7 to rehire or not rehire was deadlocked at 3-3, with one person abstaining. They will v**e again on Monday, Aug. 21, in what promises to be a packed school board meeting.

A social media storm has erupted under the assumption that those v****g not to rehire are acting simply because of Mr. Yates’ t*********r identity. But there is more to the story.

‘You’re a Man’

In the fall of 2022, the tennis coach entered the girls’ locker room where the girls soccer team was changing. Mr. Yates changed his clothing too, stripping down to bra and panties, a school board member familiar with the situation told The Epoch Times, adding that students reported that it was clear from what they saw that Mr. Yates was still fully a man.

Two school board members have students on the soccer team and at least one of their students was present when this occurred, the board member said.

At that time, the school board decided not to rehire Mr. Yates. But when the name Sasha Yates was used in the next round of coach hirings, not everyone on the board recognized this as the same person.

During an April 12 softball game at Gettysburg Area High School, Steve Carbaugh’s 16-year old daughter went to use the girls bathroom. Mr. Yates soon followed, and the student found herself alone in the bathroom with the tennis coach. She told her father that Mr. Yates tried to strike up a conversation. The student texted her softball coach from the bathroom as it happened, Mr. Carbaugh told The Epoch Times.

“Michelle, this damn tennis coach just walked into the girls bathroom,” the text she made to her father says. “Like, (expletive) You’re a (expletive) man.”

When Mr. Carbaugh’s daughter told him what happened, he questioned her.

“I asked her if anything t***spired or happened, you know, did he try anything? Did he expose himself or anything? She said no. She said, ‘He tried to hold a conversation with me, then I walked out.’” Mr. Carbaugh said.

His daughter told him she was very, very uncomfortable.

He contacted the school to see what they were going to do about it. “As far as I was concerned, they can’t protect my child while in their custody at this point.”


It’s Not About H**e

While speaking with school officials about the bathroom incident, Mr. Carbaugh learned that Mr. Yates had been already been reprimanded for another incident in a locker room.

Mr. Carbaugh was also told in April that Mr. Yates would not be rehired for another season of coaching, so he dropped the matter—that is until Mr. Yates ended up on the list of coaches again.

“Now, everybody in this area seems to be crying that it is h**e—that nobody wants this guy back because he’s t*********r and it’s h**e. This has absolutely nothing to do with h**e on my part. I don’t care what the guy wants to call himself,” Mr. Carbaugh said. “What’s right is right. What’s wrong is wrong.

“My job as a parent is to protect my child. And he had no business going into that bathroom, and his actions proved that he cannot be trusted. He went into a girls’ locker room and changed while the girls varsity soccer team was in there. They talked to him about it. And he went into a girls’ restroom facility. When is enough enough?” Mr. Carbaugh asked.

“He is not being penalized because of what he calls himself. He needs to be penalized because of his actions and the fact that he can’t follow directions. This is a grown man, going into a bathroom with a juvenile female. That’s a problem. That’s a huge problem.”

Some on the school board wanted to fire Mr. Yates after the bathroom incident, but a solicitor convinced them that, with just a few tennis matches left in the season, it would be better to wait, and just not rehire Mr. Yates for the following season. The concern was, firing over the bathroom incident could position the board to be sued, a school board member told The Epoch Times.

But now that the new season is here, the solicitor has made the same warning, urging the board to rehire Mr. Yates to avoid the risk of litigation. The board has asked to see the paperwork surrounding the locker room and bathroom incidents, ideally before Monday’s v**e.

After the bathroom incident, the school gave Mr. Yates permission to use the officials’ locker room, which is used by referees and was told not to go into the girls locker room or restroom, a school board member said.

“The day he came out as being t***s, the district should have sat down with him and said, ‘Here are the boundaries,’” another school board member said.

Yes - it’s the economy stupid. Always was but the stupid gop can not seem to grasp that.
Maybe after primaries are over. …

You should KNOW lil denny, when you close your mind completely as you have, you MISS a hell of a lot of important OTHER things going on such as men disrobing in front of little girls, usually in America, thought to be a FELONY crime or at least a strong misdemeanor of indecent exposure. But now that the Left, Yes that would be YOU, saying this is all appropriate, things have changed but not for the better. Wh**ever happened to the girl's RIGHT to not be exposed to someone's manhood OR a grown woman's RIGHT not to see a man's penis in her bathroom or a a women's locker room when they have no desire to see it?

You on the Left talk in such grandiose language about the RIGHTS of men and women to do this and that, all the while forgetting the RIGHTS of the rest of us. How the HELL does that BULLS**T happen that only some people are allowed to have their RIGHTS observed but not the rest of us?

Would you HONESTLY (try your best anyway) be acceptable to a grown man walking into your granddaughter's locker room or wife's rest room, dropping his pants and literally exposing his penis to either of them. Would you do the same and put aside the woman's/little girl's claims of being offended as nonsense? What about THEIR rights?

I don't know, seems like America's parents and grandparents are concerned about the path that education has taken in this country with good reason.

The Left Wingers, represented here by lil denny, forget their own attacks on America from all sides, anti police, pro L***Q etc. all out of proportion to that type of person in America, attacks on gas and oil production, attacks on schools to make them more Woke, more in line with L***Q actions and policies just when children should be children and concentrating on the 3R's. A friend just told me this morning a judge in Iowa ruled a 5 year old does not need parental consent for a s*x c****e. My only thought is, WTH is that about? It is about the Left Wingers wanting education of children to be taken over by The State. When the hell has terminology like, The State, ever come into play in America except for C*******m movies where, The State, is always held to be a negative. Yet here is the Left more and more using those C*******t terms to decide things here in America.

Let's not forget the Division of Americans hosted by the Left, police from B****s and all other Americans, division of b****s and w****s, teachers from parents, sports figures not respecting America by kneeling when the American f**g is presented, and so on. Every bit of this is Anti American and is supported by the Left.

An open question to anyone:
Does anyone bother to read Dennis’s post?

Racmanaz Loc: Sunny Tucson!

I don’t know, does anyone bother to read ShutterMouths bloviated nonsense posts?

dennis2146 Loc: Eastern Idaho

OMG!!!!! Was that supposed to be an insult?

Here lil denny is what you should have considered BEFORE making such an asinine comment.

Consider: Yes, YOU read my posts because you answer them on a regular basis albeit with FOOLISH comments, deflections and numerous whataboutisms just as you did this time.

Anything ELSE I can help you with? See how easy that was? How sad you needed a Conservative to help you answer your own ridiculous Left Winger question. Now don't YOU feel FOOLISH?

No I very very seldom read past the first few lines as that is where actually you say anything connected to the subject under discussion.
The rest - usually 3 or/4 times longer is meaningless trash talk

dennis2146 Loc: Eastern Idaho

Yeah, very seldom like almost every time. Then you feel the need to put your mouth in overdrive to play the FOOL.
