The U.S. Department of Education is initiating a Title IX investigation into the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) and the Minnesota State High School League. This follows CIF's announced plans that the federal department claims may violate federal laws concerning discrimination in girls' and women's sports. The investigation aligns with President Trump's executive order limiting transgender athletes' participation in women’s sports. CIF asserts compliance with California laws, emphasizing inclusivity based on students' gender identity. Equality California’s executive director voiced support for CIF, characterizing the federal probe as a politically motivated attack against transgender rights.
The CIF states that permitting students to participate in sports consistent with their gender identity aligns with California laws, ensuring fairness and inclusion in athletics.
Equality California’s Tony Hoang supports CIF's policy, stating it has worked effectively for years in allowing transgender athletes to compete alongside their peers.
