The U.S. Department of Education announced Wednesday that the California Department of Education and the California Interscholastic Federation violated the civil rights of female students on the basis of sex by allowing transgender students to compete in school sports according to their gender identity.

Having concluded its investigation, the U.S. Department of Education is calling on California to “voluntarily agree” to change what it determined are “unlawful practices” within 10 days or risk “imminent enforcement action.”

“Although Governor Gavin Newsom admitted months ago it was ‘deeply unfair’ to allow men to compete in women’s sports, both the California Department of Education and the California Interscholastic Federation continued as recently as a few weeks ago to allow men to steal female athletes’ well-deserved accolades and to subject them to the indignity of unfair and unsafe competitions,” U.S. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon said in a statement.

“The Trump Administration will relentlessly enforce Title IX protections for women and girls, and our findings today make clear that California has failed to adhere to its obligations under federal law. The state must swiftly come into compliance with Title IX or face the consequences that follow.”
California officials were not immediately available for comment.

The U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights opened an investigation in February into the California Interscholastic Federation, which oversees sports at more than 1,500 high schools, after the athletic group said it would continue its policy of allowing transgender students to compete in accordance with their gender identity.

California’s education code states that students “shall be permitted to participate in sex-segregated school programs and activities, including athletic teams and competitions, and use facilities consistent with his or her gender identity, irrespective of the gender listed on the pupil’s records.”
In May, the U.S. Department of...

Lia Thomas still has Guido in his Speedos. Reminiscent of the old days of pro wrestling when guys like Killer Kowalski Bugsy McGraw Classy Freddy Blassey etc would sneak a “foreign object” into the ring in plain sight of everyone except the referee. As long as this crap goes on women’s sports are just as fake

I really dont know why idiot people make things so complicated.

Men belong on men sports teams, no one other than men.

Women belong on womens sports teams, no one other than women.

No men on womens teams ever, no women on mens teams,ever.

If one man on a womans team is dangerous to women, we cant allow any women on mens teams because that is far more dangerous than one man on womens teams.

People are so lacking com on sense for their personal agenda pet peeves they have to force on everyone.

First they admit women cannot compete with men physically.

Second they propagandize the message by the deliberate use of disparate pairing of “men” and “girls” as opposed to more equal “men” and “women” or “boys” and “girls”.

See when 1 guy wants to join a girls team, nope. Girl wants to take a spot on a guys team to push their agenda, celebrated.

Its so stupid. All of this is so flipping stupid. Double standards, biased treatment, feminist bs agendas, stupid aplhabet people agendas exploiting mentally ill people...

If you have to take drugs to be the sex you claim to be, you ain’t that sexy.

Just because you feel like something, doesn’t make you something. What’s so hard here?

What agenda are you complaining about here? If a chick wants to play on a men's team, it's almost always because the school doesn't offer that sport for the females. Her only local option is the men's team.

Thats not a reason to put her on the team.

Because she wants to? Same reason the guy wants to play on the girls team. At least the guy actually believes hes a woman in the wrong body.

No we are told its a safety thing. So even if she wants to, the safety issue should automatically deny her a spot. If one guy on a womans team is a safety issue to all the girls, then theres no way any girls should be playing on mens teams at all.
