The Trump administration has filed a lawsuit against California's Education Department after the state refused to enforce a ban on trans athletes participating in women's and girls' sports. The Justice Department claims California's policies violate Title IX by allowing discrimination based on sex. They argue that these rules are unfair and demeaning, undermining girls' opportunities in sports. California's education authorities and the CIF have declined to comment, while Governor Newsom's office suggested the lawsuit is a distraction from funding issues.
The Justice Department filed a lawsuit claiming that California's trans athlete policies violate Title IX, which bans discrimination in education based on sex.
The department says in the lawsuit that California's rules are not only illegal and unfair but also demeaning, signalling to girls that their opportunities and achievements are secondary to accommodating boys.
The results of these illegal policies are stark: girls are displaced from podiums, denied awards, and miss out on critical visibility for college scholarships and recognition.
California Governor Gavin Newsom's office described the Trump administration’s legal actions as 'a cynical attempt' to distract from the government's withholding of funds for after-school programs.
