California Interscholastic Federation (CIF) and California Department of Education (CDE) were found to be in violation of title IX, the US Ministry of Education for Civil Rights (OCR) announced on Wednesday.
The message came weeks after Transgender High School Track and Field -Aatlet AB Hernandez won medals in girls’ competitions during California’s state championships. The transsexual athlete’s participation in the events triggered nationwide indignation, specifically from President Donald Trump, after signing “No men in women’s sports” executive order, which banned transnry athletes to compete against biological girls and women in sports.

“Although Governor Gavin Newsom admitted months ago, it was’ deeply unfair ‘to give men the opportunity to compete in women’s sports, both California’s Education Department and California Interscholastic Federation continued as late as a few weeks ago to give men the opportunity to steal female athletes’ well -deserved acknowledging acknowledging and exposed to them to the indulgence of unprecedented competition,” said. ” Educational interior design Linda McMahon.
“Trump administration will relentlessly enforce the protection of title IX for women and girls, and our conclusions today make it clear that California has not failed to comply with its obligations under federal law. The state must quickly come into conformity with title IX or face the consequences that follow.”

Additonal, “CDE issues a message to all recipients of federal funding (recipients) who operate interscholastic athletic programs in California that require them to comply with title IX. This will specify this title IX and its implementation regulations prohibit schools from allowing men from attending female sports and from occupying female intimate facilities, The recipients must adopt biology -based definitions of the words’ male ‘male’ and ‘female’.
“CDE and CIF will be lifted any guidance that advised local school districts or CIF members to allow male athletes to participate in women’s and girls’ sports to reflect this title IX avoids state legislation when state law is in conflict with title IX.

“The young man who is winning the state championship in the long leap in female sports should not happen,” Kirk said. “You, as a governor, should go out and say no. Would you do something similar? Would you say that no men in female sports?”
“I think it’s a matter of justice. I totally agree with you about it. It’s a matter of justice – it’s deeply unfair,” Newsom told Kirk. “I don’t fight with the fairness question. I totally agree with you.”
Kirk pressed Newsom about whether he would condemn that athlete from the Jurupa Valley High School after the athlete won another event at the time. Newsom did not directly treat the victory, but said “It’s a matter of justice.”
“So it’s easy to call the unfairness of it,” he said. “There is also a humility and a grace. … These poor people are more likely to commit suicide, have anxiety and depression. And the way people speak to vulnerable societies is a question that I also have difficulty with.
“So both things I can hold in my hand. How can we solve this problem with the kind of decency that I think you know is inherent in you, but not always expressed about the question?”
Newsom also explained his view at a press conference on April 2 when asked if there should be a allowed to ban men from competing in girls and women’s sports.
“And I am as transparent about this as someone out there, especially in my party, on this, and to the extent that anyone can and do it in a way that is respectful and responsible and could find some kind of balance, then I am open to that discussion. … you are talking about a very small number of people, a very small number of athletes, and my responsibility is to tackle the pressing questions in our time.
“And this, I think, has been colored in and weapons by the right to be 10 times, 100 times greater than it is, and then my focus is on a myriad of other questions in this state. And to the extent that anyone could find this right balance, I would embrace these conversations and the dignity that hopefully presents itself in this conversation, which means humanity about this conversation, not the politics of this conversation.”
McMahon said in a performance on “Fox & Friends” that California would be in danger of losing his federal funding to his K-12 schools if the requirements are not met.

“It’s interesting to hear Governor Newsom say it’s a matter of justice,” McMahon said. “It’s easy. Talk is cheap. I think he has to put his money where his mouth is.”
