Video purportedly showing San Antonio ISD skirting anti-trans sports ban far from a smoking gun

Ultraconservitive group Accuracy in Media (AIM) this week unveiled what it purported to be a "gotcha" video showing a San Antonio ISD employee help an "undercover reporter" work around a state law barring transgender students from school sports. AIM — which touts itself as a media watchdog but has long faced criticism for pushing far-right conspiracy theories — has prompted resignations of at least two other Texas school administrators by sharing similar clips in which its associates pretend to be parents of transgender children seeking help to get around the state rules. In a teaser video tweeted out Monday about its San Antonio undercover operation, AIM claimed it had footage of an SAISD official "bending birth certificate rules to sneak boys into girls sports."
