The Justice Department has filed a lawsuit against California's Department of Education and California Interscholastic Federation for not complying with demands to ban transgender athletes from women's sports. The suit follows the refusal of California agencies to amend their policies and is part of ongoing federal disputes over Title IX compliance. Secretary of Education expressed that multiple notifications were sent regarding the violations, and the administration maintains that Title IX restricts participation in women's sports strictly to biological women. California officials have stated they disagree with this interpretation.
Secretary of Education Linda McMahon stated that the lawsuit followed several weeks of federal attempts to inform California that it was violating Title IX, which prohibits sex-based discrimination.
U.S. Attorney General Pam Bondi emphasized the administration's strict stance on women's sports, declaring that Title IX applies strictly to women, and any non-compliance would lead to litigation.
