A girls' high school volleyball team in California saw two more games on its schedule forfeited amid an ongoing controversy involving a trans athlete on its roster.Maribel Munoz, the mother of a female player on Jurupa Valley High School's girls' volleyball team, provided Fox News Digital copies of messages sent by the team's coach, Liana Manu, to parents of players, informing them that the team's upcoming games against Rim of the World High School on Aug. 25 and Orange Vista High School on Aug. 29 had been forfeited.CLICK HERE FOR MORE SPORTS COVERAGE ON FOXNEWS.COMJurupa Valley addressed the forfeits in a statement to Fox News Digital."We understand and acknowledge the disappointment of our Jurupa Valley High School athletes who are ready and prepared to play. Decisions to cancel matches were made by teams in other districts," the statement read."As a public school district in California, JUSD is compelled to follow the law, whichprotects students from discrimination based on gender identity and requires that students be permitted to participate on athletic teams that are consistent with their gender identity (California Education Code 221.5 (f)). This is consistent with the guidance provided by California Attorney General Rob Bonta and California State Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Thurmond."We are proud of our JVHS Jaguars and their willingness to play any team and represent their school and our district with pride. We are currently working to find additional matches to give them that opportunity."Fox News Digital has reached out to Rim of the World and Orange Vista for comment.National attention was thrust back onto Jurupa Valley High School when Riverside Poly High School's girls' volleyball team announced it forfeited an Aug. 15 game in a statement. Multiple parents of Riverside Poly players, and a school board member, told Fox News Digital the forfeit was in response to the trans athlete on Jurupa Valley, AB Hernandez.Hernandez's mother, Nereyda Hernandez, addressed the recent controversy in an exclusive statement to Fox News Digital."I understand the discomfort some may feel, because I was once there, too. The difference is, I chose to learn, to grow, and to open my heart," she said."Believe me, I know some people genuinely dont understand what it means to be transgender. Im still learning too, right alongside my child. That is why I choose not to respond with anger or disrespect. Instead, I choose empathy, because learning takes time, and compassion makes all the difference."TRANS VOLLEYBALL PLAYER INCIDENT UNLEASHES PARADE OF ANGRY PARENTS ON ILLINOIS SCHOOL BOARD MEETINGThe statement continued, "My baby is petite, what sets her apart is not her size or strength, but her skill and the way she plays the game... This is a child, and I can assure you that she sees your daughters as peers, as teammates, as friends, not through a lens of anything inappropriate. I know it may be hard to understand, but she is just another girl who wants to play."Finally, I leave you with this: My child is so innocent, she didnt even realize the forfeited games were because of her.Jurupa Valley and Hernandez were previously the subject of national scrutiny during the spring track and field season, when the trans athlete made a run to two girls' state titles in long jump and triple jump.The postseason meets that Hernandez competed in were met with protests by female athletes and their families who often wore the "Save Girls Sports" shirts. The incidents appeared to draw a response from President Donald Trump, who posted a Truth Social message the week leading up to the state final advising the state not to allow a trans athlete to compete. However, Trump did not directly reference Hernandez directly in the post. Then, in July, the U.S. Department of Justice filed a lawsuit against the California Department of Education (CDE) and CIF for its policies that have allowed biological males to compete in girls' sports across the state despite Trump signing an executive order in February to prohibit it.Now, Hernandez, a senior, is in the midst of the athlete's final high school volleyball season, which is being wrought with even more controversy amid the growing string of forfeits.Munoz, who says her daughter has played alongside Hernandez on the girls' volleyball team for the last three years, is the first parent of one of the trans athlete's teammates to speak out against the school for its handling of the situation."It makes me feel sad, it makes me feel angry, frustrated, just so many emotions," Munoz told Fox News Digital.After the Riverside Poly forfeit, local parents showed up to the Riverside Unified School District board meeting on Thursday to speak out in support of the girls who forfeited and against the school district for its current gender policies, while others spoke in support of trans athletes in girls' sports.Nereyda Hernandez, showed up to defend AB's right to play in girls' sports, and condemned board member Amanda Vickers for previously interviewing with Fox News Digital about the forfeit last week."Amanda Vickers, you interviewed with Fox. You actually entertained and welcomed harassment to my child. You are a board member. You have an oath to protect, to support all children, not just the ones that fit your ideas, your beliefs," Hernandez said."When you allow or tolerate targeted harassment, whether online, in person or allowing false narratives to be spread at board meetings, you are only failing morally."My daughter is not the problem. The problem is coordinated external efforts often led by individuals that travel from district to district to spread fear and put parents against each other using religion as a shield for discrimination. This has nothing to do with fairness in sports and everything to do with erasing transgender children."One mother, Maria Carrillo, spoke in support of the Riverside Poly players and condemned parents enabling male children to play in girls' sports."The girls, great job. Poly girls, we stand with you. Keep fighting, because these parents that support their confused child are the problem," Carrillo said. "If my child was on drugs, I would love him, but guess what? I would tell him the truth; drugs are bad for you. I would not feed him more drugs."The Jurupa Valley girls' volleyball regular season is set to run through the middle of October.Meanwhile, Trump has not taken his eye off California for its defiance of Title IX with the DOJ's lawsuit now in motion. The president warned California and Gov. Gavin Newsom about the states transgender policies in a post on Truth Social on Thursday."Any California school district that doesnt adhere to our Transgender policies, will not be funded. Thank you for your attention to this matter!" Trump wrote in the post.Follow Fox News Digitalssports coverage on X and subscribe to the Fox News Sports Huddle newsletter.

A federal judge has ordered the Oakland Unified School District (OUSD) to give equal access to facilities for a Christian after-school program after the district repeatedly denied the group space on its campuses.The case was brought by Child Evangelism Fellowship of NorCal, Inc. (CEF), which sponsors Good News Clubs weekly programs that provide Bible lessons, songs, and activities for children, free of charge and with parental permission. CEF alleged that OUSD refused access to four school campuses over a two-year period.On Aug. 15, 2025, U.S. District Judge Haywood S. Gilliam Jr. issued a preliminary injunction requiring OUSD to allow Good News Clubs the same access as secular after-school groups. The judge found the district engaged in unconstitutional viewpoint discrimination and violated CEFs free speech rights.According to the court document, OUSD gave a variety of reasons for rejecting CEF's request, from lack of available facility space to not wanting to endorse "evangelism on our campus." OUSD also denied CEFs attempt to become an official "community partner" on the basis of the groups religious nature.SUPREME COURT RULES WISCONSIN UNCONSTITUTIONALLY DISCRIMINATED AGAINST CHRISTIAN CHARITYJudge Gilliam rejected these arguments, noting that Good News Clubs meet after school hours, are voluntary, not school-sponsored, and open to any student. The court emphasized that OUSD allowed secular groups like the Girl Scouts, Berkeley Chess School, and Girls on the Run, but denied CEF solely due to its religious viewpoint.The judge ordered both parties to submit a joint case management statement by September 16 and appear at a case management conference on September 23.The ruling echoes the 2001 U.S. Supreme Court case Good News Club v. Milford Central School, which held that public schools cannot exclude religious groups from facility use when secular groups are allowed. The high court said such exclusion amounts to unconstitutional discrimination against religious viewpoints.PARENT GROUPS, RELIGIOUS LIBERTY EXPERTS HAIL SCOTUS UPHOLDING PARENTS RIGHTS IN LGBTQ BOOKS CASECEF is represented by Liberty Counsel, a nonprofit legal organization, which said it will now seek a permanent injunction to ensure long-term equal access for the Good News Clubs in Oakland schools.Liberty Counsel founder and chairman Mat Staver praised the ruling:"This is a great victory for Child Evangelism Fellowship, parents, and the students in Oakland public schools. The U.S. Supreme Court has ruled that public schools cannot discriminate against Christian viewpoints regarding use of school facilities," he said in a press release. "Child Evangelism Fellowship gives children a biblically based education that includes moral and character development. Good News Clubs should be in every public elementary school."CLICK HERE TO GET THE FOX NEWS APPAn OUSD spokesperson gave Fox News Digital the following statement:"Oakland Unified School District supports the right of inclusive, non-discriminatory groups to have access to public lands such as public school property for the exercise of their first amendment rights to assembly and free expression. As long as such groups go through the proper channels to rent District facilities, pay the going rate, take care to preserve the integrity of the grounds, and do not overstay their rental period, members of our community are welcome to use district facilities outside of school hours, and at times and in ways that do not otherwise hinder the education process for Oakland students. We welcome all groups to apply to use our facilities."

When "va-va-voom" Michelle Pfeiffer walked onto the set of "Grease 2," Maxwell Caulfield knew he wouldnt be tempted by the sultry starlet.The actor, who starred as motorcycle-riding Michael Carrington, is gearing up to honor his wife, Juliet Mills, at this years Cinecon in Hollywood during Labor Day weekend. Looking back at his career, the 65-year-old told Fox News Digital it was easy to play Pfeiffers love interest in the 1982 film."We did not have the kind of relationship that John Travolta and Olivia Newton-John did [in the original film]," he explained. "They were so symbiotic, they absolutely loved each other. Michelle and I only had to play being in love. And we both just got married. So, there was no question about any [lines] being crossed in that regard."TOM CRUISE'S FORMER GIRLFRIEND ADMITS WHAT SHE REALLY THINKS OF HIM FOUR DECADES AFTER THEIR ROMANCE"Michelle is a bit of a sphinx," he chuckled. "Shes always retained a certain mystery."While their relationship on set was strictly platonic, Caulfield said they did bond over the possibility of skyrocketing to international fame just as Travolta and Newton-John did in 1978."I think we were both apprehensive about imminent stardom," he said. "We would sometimes talk about how one would handle it, because its a very real thing to suddenly become world famous. It suddenly means, like everything in life, theres a price to pay."And Caulfield had good reason to think about the possibility of becoming a household name. While teen idols Rick Springfield and Leif Garrett were considered, it was Caulfield who scored the role. And according to reports, even Tom Cruise auditioned at one point.But fate had different plans for Caulfield.When "Grease 2" premiered in theaters, it attempted to go toe-to-toe against heavyweights like "E.T.," "Rocky III" and "Poltergeist." And tunes like "Back to School Again" didnt resonate with audiences in June. After it was dismissed by critics, "Grease 2" was knocked out cold at the box office.WATCH: GREASE 2 STAR RECALLS FILMING WITH SPHINX MICHELLE PFEIFFERMeanwhile, Pfeiffer went on to star in another film, "Scarface," opposite Al Pacino."When the film didnt take off, I went down with the ship," said Caulfield. "But she rose like a fabulous phoenix."Caulfield admitted it wasnt easy to watch Pfeiffer soar to fame as he struggled to find his way in Hollywood."I did hope to be embraced by a movie-going audience," he said. "I did aspire to represent a certain mantle of cool that movie stardom bestows upon you Theres just something about achieving that kind of tremendous success I always say to young actors, Be very careful about the first role you do, because thats the role youre going to be asked to play very often, a variation of that for many years of your career."Still, there are no hard feelings toward Pfeiffer, Caulfield insisted."I hope one day to work with her again," he beamed. "Shes a wonderfully generous actress And look, Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise, these guys are practically contemporaries of mine, and they still look like a million bucks, but they are genuine movie stars Theyve also held on to their hair. To lose it is the cardinal sin in Hollywood."CLICK HERE TO SIGN UP FOR THE ENTERTAINMENT NEWSLETTERWhile Caulfield immersed himself in the theater, he went on to star in "The Colbys," a "Dynasty" spinoff. The series ran from 1986 to 1987. But it wouldnt be until decades later that Caulfield scored an iconic role."Empire Records? Never heard of it," he joked. "Empire Records' is an extraordinary thing. Its up there with Grease 2 in terms of a movie that literally nobody went to see on the opening weekend, but thanks to you, kids, you revived it from the graveyard of cinematic bombs and elevated it to genuine cult status. And I did get to play a strutting peacock in that."In the 1995 film about an independent record store, Caulfield plays Rex Manning, a washed-up '80s heartthrob. The film earned just more than $300,000 at the box office after a limited release. However, it has become a cult hit over the years. And every April 8, a key date in the movie, fans celebrate "Rex Manning Day" on social media."The joke's on Rex Manning, a lot, but it was a fun experience making Empire Records," said Caulfield."And Ive got to tell you that the scene that doesnt get nearly enough airplay [is] Rex Mannings crazy, deranged male fantasy video on the sand with all those girls in black lingerie, a four-poster bed, a wind machine and Cuban heels. Its not easy to walk up a sand dune in Cuban heels. But I enjoyed doing that very much and recording the song."These days, Caulfield is busy performing in the play "The Lost Gospel of Pontius Pilate." The stage is one of his greatest loves. The other is his wife, the daughter of actor Sir John Mills and Disney icon Hayley Mills. Theyve been married since 1980.LIKE WHAT YOURE READING? CLICK HERE FOR MORE ENTERTAINMENT NEWS"She took a real chance of marrying me when she did," said Caulfield. "She was the one who had a career and a lofty reputation. I was the upstart New York actor full of ambition, but madly in love with her. And obviously, there was an age difference. Juliet was far more worldly than me, and she was, especially in those early years, very patient with me She took the plunge. Shes always had a bit of a rebel spirit. And it seemed to have paid off.""Weve never gone to bed upset with each other," he shared. "Im absolutely blessed Theres a certain level of adoration that precludes, frankly, any tendency that one might face to stray. That famous Paul Newman quote about his wife Joanne Woodward why would I go out for a hamburger when I got filet mignon at home? Its legit. The chemistry has lasted all these years And its been quite an adventure."

This egregious act is reprehensible and never should have occurred."In the 17 years of operation of KnokX Pro Wrestling Academy, there has never been anything as heinous take place such as this and we apologize to our patrons and fans."WWE star Rusev was among those who reacted on social media.Syko Stu is a U.S. Army veteran and used pro wrestling to get back into civilian life.

The co-hosts of the liberal political podcast "Pod Save America" described how the Democratic Party is currently enduring one of the worst crises in its history during the Friday episode of their show.Co-hosts Jon Favreau and Dan Pfeiffer broke down new polling numbers revealing that the party has lost millions of voters since the 2020 election. Pfeiffer declared that the situation is one of the worst that the party has ever dealt with in terms of dwindling support."I mean, it is at its worst point than at almost any point in our history," he said. "And I would probably even include after the 1984 election, when we lost 49 states."'MOFO...IN THE WHITE HOUSE': JASMINE CROCKETT ATTACKS TRUMP, PRAISES MASSIE IN ANTI-IRAN STRIKE RANTFavreau introduced the topic by discussing the latest Democratic Party voter registration numbers published by The New York Times on Wednesday. They revealed that the party has lost millions of voters between 2020 and 2024 while the GOP has gained millions of voters."Shane Goldmacher published an extremely thorough analysis on Wednesday that details how in all 30 states that track voter registration by party affiliation, Democrats lost about 2.1 million voters between 2020 and 2024, while Republicans gained 2.4 million."He continued, noting how the Democratic Party hasnt stopped the bleeding since the 2024 election either."There are now 160,000 fewer Dems, and 200,000 more Republicans than there were on Election Day 2024," he said.FAR-LEFT FIREBRAND SAYS SHE 'NEVER HAD A CONCERN' ABOUT BIDEN'S MENTAL STATE AS HOUSE PROBE HEATS UPHe passed the mic to Pfeiffer, who added that the reality could be worse for the Democratic Party than the numbers show because, while deep blue California was included in the data, deep red Texas was not the suggestion being that the GOP could have gained even more voters."So, it could be worse, is what I say," Pfeiffer remarked."2020 through 2024 bad f------- years for the Democratic Party," Favreau said.CLICK HERE FOR MORE COVERAGE OF MEDIA AND CULTUREPfeiffer still had more bad news for Favreau, pointing out that each of the U.S.s "core battleground states are getting more Republican.""In 2020, on Election Day, Democrats had a 400,000 person registration advantage in North Carolina. Today that number is down to 17,000," he said, noting that in the same timeframe, that advantage shrank from 500,000 to 50,000 in the state of Pennsylvania.Pfeiffer summed it all up, declaring, "This is a party in crisis."Elsewhere, he added, "Our approval numbers havent gone up. The trust in the party is down. Democratic voters overwhelmingly want to change their leadership. I mean, it is I do not think the people at the helm of the party have been willing to contend with the depth of the crisis the party is in."

Bryan Kohberger saw a news article about a white Hyundai Elantra having been identified as a suspect vehicle in the Idaho student murders and immediately panicked, according to the forensic team that analyzed his phone."I think the vehicle was a huge stress point for him, because he had registered it to park there," said Jared Barnhart, who along with his wife Heather works at the digital forensics firm Cellebrite.
