""For too many years, Minnesota's political leadership has found itself on the wrong side of justice, common sense, and the American people. Now the Minnesota Department of Education and the Minnesota State High School League find themselves on the wrong side of Title IX by allowing males to compete in women's sports," said Craig Trainor, the Education Department's Acting Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights."
""The Trump Administration will not allow Minnesota or any other state to sacrifice the safety, fair treatment, and dignity of its female students to appease the false idols of radical gender ideology. Once an education program or entity takes federal funds, Title IX compliance becomes mandatory. And the federal government will hold Minnesota accountable until it recognizes that fact.""
"Specifically, the federal agencies said Minnesota allowed "male athletes" on girl's Alpine and Nordic skiing, lacrosse, track and field, volleyball and fastpitch softball teams. Transgender female athletes were allowed to compete and use the same locker rooms as other participants in those sports."
The U.S. Education and HHS civil rights offices found the Minnesota Department of Education and the Minnesota State High School League in violation of Title IX for allowing transgender female athletes to compete on girls' teams. Federal agencies cited participation in girls' Alpine and Nordic skiing, lacrosse, track and field, volleyball, and fastpitch softball and shared use of locker rooms. The Trump administration invoked its "No Men in Women's Sports" executive order forbidding trans women's participation. Federal officials characterized the policy as sacrificing safety, fair treatment, and dignity of female students and pledged enforcement tied to federal funding until compliance.
