The Justice Department took legal action Wednesday against California over the state’s refusal to comply with orders from the Trump administration to ban transgender girls from girls’ school sports teams.
The department’s Civil Rights Division sued the California Department of Education and the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF), which oversees high school sports in the state, over what it said was a pattern of “illegal sex discrimination against female student athletes.”
Both state agencies have declined to bar transgender student-athletes from competing in line with their gender identity despite repeated warnings from the White House and a personal threat from President Trump to the state’s “large scale federal funding.”
Investigations launched earlier this year by the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) found both the state Education Department and the CIF in violation of Title IX, the federal law banning sex discrimination in schools that the Trump administration has said prohibits trans athletes from participating in girls’ and women’s sports.
