U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon has threatened California with federal funding loss if it doesn't comply with Title IX enforcement related to transgender athletes. During a Fox News interview, McMahon demanded accountability for what she called infractions against female athletes and insisted on an apology to them. Following an investigation, the U.S. Department of Education stated that California's policies violate Title IX by allowing transgender girls to compete in girls' sports and issued a 10-day ultimatum for compliance with proposed resolutions.
In a press release Wednesday, the department said California must rescind its guidance permitting participation based on gender identity, issue written apologies to cisgender female athletes, restore records and titles 'misappropriated by [transgender] athletes,' and adopt binary 'biology-based definitions' of sex.
'Talk is cheap,' McMahon said of Gov. Gavin Newsom. 'We've investigated... and found that it was an infraction. Now we are demanding that they take action, or we'll take action.'
