The Beaverton School District in Oregon has demanded that Sen. Ted Cruz's campaign withdraw two ads featuring images of two high school athletes, as neither the students nor their families consented to the use of their photos. The ads falsely suggest that the athletes, who are in fact not transgender, are involved in the debate over transgender athletes in sports, as part of Cruz's political attack on his opponent, Colin Allred. The images in question were taken from a news story about a transgender athlete competing in a track meet, but the Oregon students were not involved in that story. The district emphasized that the portrayal in the ads is misleading and uses minors' images inappropriately. Despite requests for removal, the Cruz campaign has not yet complied or clarified their stance on the unauthorized use of images. The ads are part of a broader campaign by Cruz to criticize Allred's support for trans-inclusive policies in sports.
