In Oregon, McMahon launches a study against the National Institute of Education (ODE) after a high school sports season containing several events involving trans athletes in girls’ sports that received public attention and two lawsuits on the case.
“If oregon is permitting paint to compete in women’s sports, it is allowing these paints to steal the accolades and opportunities that female competitors have rightfully earned through hard work and grit, while callously disregarding Women’s and Girls’ Safety, Dignity, and Privacy. Does not permit that shamefl arrangement, and we will not tolerate it, “Said Craig Trainor, The Acting Assistant Secretary for the Doe’s Office of Civil Rights (OCR).
On Thursday, Oregon Girls’ track athletes Alexa Anderson and Reese Eckard brought a lawsuit against the Oregon School Athletics Association (OSAA) after an incident at the State’s Railway and Field Championships on the last day of May. Anderson and Eckard claimed that Osaa not only excluded them from official photos, but also detained their medals. In the case, the girls’ first change rights were violated by the officials.
Earlier in July, two other female students, Maddie Eischen and Sophia Carpenter, built a lawsuit against Ode and Osaa for its policies that allow men to compete in girls’ sports after an incident where they withdrew from a trace meeting in April because a man was set to compete against them.
Tracking Trans Athlete High School Sports controversy that shakes the nation in the last year
Both Carpenter and Eischen previously told Pakinomist Digital that the experience was “traumatic.”
“My experience at the Chehalem track meets and scraping myself from the meeting was traumatic, something I had never imagined I would ever do,” Eischen said.
Carpenter added, “It was emotionally traumatic to try to know what to do and how to answer to compete with [the trans athlete]”
The US Doe study quotes direct litigation and company representing athletes, the America First Policy Institute.
Pakinomist Digital has reached Ode for a response.
Meanwhile, Friday also DOE OCR announces an update on his investigation against five school districts in Virginia for “accusations of discrimination on the basis of sex.”
OCR concluded his study and decided that the five school districts had violated title IX. The study was based on complaints claiming that the divisions have similar policies against discrimination that relate to “transgender people who identify” who violate the sex -based protection of title IX.
“Although this type of behavior was tolerated by the previous administration, it is time for the Northern Virginia’s experiment with radical gender ideology and illegal discrimination to come to an end. OCR’s investigation finally shows that these five Virginia school districts have trampled on the students’ rights in an extreme political ideology,” Trainor said.
“The Trump administration will not sacrifice the security, dignity and innocence in America’s young women and girls at the altar of an anti-science illiberalism.”
The five school districts now have 10 days to come to a voluntary agreement with the Trump administration or risk a reference to the US Ministry of Justice.
DOJ has already launched lawsuits against officials in Maine and California for the policies of these states that allow trans athletes in girls and women’s sports.
