California public schools are warned by the DOJ about possible legal action if they don't comply with federal law regarding transgender students' participation in athletics. The CIF's policy, allowing transgender athletes to compete based on their gender identity, is viewed as a violation of federal law. This warning follows President Trump's comments threatening to cut federal funding due to complications from a transgender athlete's participation in a state competition, leading CIF to implement a policy for compensating cisgender athletes. The deadline for compliance is set for June 9.
