School officials from a Washington state school district confiscated testosterone vials from a high school Pride exhibition, after administrators concluded they had been added with no prior authorization, according to a story by Fox News.

Officials said some of the vials that were confiscated still contained a small amount of unknown liquid.

The administrators of the Bethel School District discovered testosterone vials “that still contained a small amount of unknown liquid,” which had been included in a Pride Month display at Graham-Kapowsin High School. They removed them after concluding the items had not been approved by school leadership.

“We were made aware of a display at Graham-Kapowsin High School that included empty vials of testosterone as one of its visuals. The display also contained some vials that still contained a small amount of unknown liquid,” Douglas Boyles, director of communications at Bethel School District, told Fox News Digital in a statement. 

“The inclusion of the vials was entirely unauthorized and did not receive approval from school leadership or administration,” Boyles said.

He continued, “Administrators have removed the vials and identified the individuals responsible for adding them without leadership approval.” 

When questioned by the media, the district did not immediately address why the vials were included in the display or whether they were intended to represent gender-transition treatments.

On Friday, Washington podcaster Brandi Kruse posted a photo of the Pride Month display at Graham-Kapowsin High School that appeared to show a transgender flag, an LGBTQ paper fan, a flyer that said “June is pride month” as well as a book called, “Pink, Blue, and You,” along with a clear jar that appeared to be testosterone vials.
