Newsom’s California illegally discriminated against female students with trans policy, Trump Education Dep’t says

The Department of Education (ED) announced on Wednesday that it has found California in violation of Title IX for allowing men to compete in women’s sports.

The department opened an investigation into the California Department of Education (CDE) and the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) in April and February, respectively. California state law allows men to compete in women’s sports and use women’s facilities, and CIF has openly announced its intention to continue abiding by state law despite ED’s warning.

“Although Governor Gavin Newsom admitted months ago it was ‘deeply unfair’ to allow men to compete in women’s sports, both the California Department of Education and the California Interscholastic Federation continued as recently as a few weeks ago to allow men to steal female athletes’ well-deserved accolades and to subject them to the indignity of unfair and unsafe competitions,” Secretary of Education Linda McMahon said in a statement. “The Trump Administration will relentlessly enforce Title IX protections for women and girls, and our findings today make clear that California has failed to adhere to its obligations under federal law. The state must swiftly come into compliance with Title IX or face the consequences that follow.”

ED is demanding that CDE and CIF comply with federal law and restore any female records that were taken by men competing against them, or risk a referral to the Department of Justice (DOJ).

CDE and CIF did not respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s request for comment.
