California has filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Justice Department, claiming the federal agency's directive to local school districts to ban transgender youth from sports is an overreach of power. The state asserts this demand violates both state and federal laws. Attorney General Rob Bonta argues that enforcing such a ban would result in discrimination and violate the Constitution. The legal action follows a warning from the Justice Department's Civil Rights Division threatening legal consequences if districts did not comply, putting California's existing laws and protections for transgender athletes in conflict with federal demands.
The President and his Administration are demanding that California school districts break the law and violate the Constitution - or face legal retaliation. They're demanding that our schools discriminate against the students in their care and deny their constitutionally protected rights.
Assistant Atty. Gen. Harmeet Dhillon, a Trump appointee, warned California school districts they face potential "legal liability" if they do not comply with federal demands against transgender athletes.
