DOJ sues California over alleged Title IX violations on trans athletes
The Justice Department on Wednesday took legal action 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.' Either agency has 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 to the state's 'large scale federal funding' from President Trump. 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 against sex discrimination in schools that the Trump administration has said prohibits trans athletes from participating in girls' and women's sports. An executive order Trump signed in February states the U.S. opposes 'male competitive participation in women's sports' and that allowing transgender student-athletes to compete in female sports violates Title IX's promise of equal athletic opportunity. California's Department of Education and the CIF had until July 7 to sign a proposed resolution agreement with OCR that would have required public schools across the state to kick transgender girls off girls' sports teams and strip them of their athletic titles and records. Cisgender girls who competed against trans student-athletes would have been sent personal apology letters, according to the proposal. On Monday, both the state Education Department and the CIF said they would not sign OCR's resolution agreement. Len Garfinkel, general counsel for California's Department of Education, wrote in a brief communication that the department 'respectfully disagrees with OCR's analysis' that it broke federal law. A 2013 state law signed by former Gov. Jerry Brown (D) explicitly protects the right of transgender students to compete on teams that match their gender identity. The Justice Department announced in May that it is investigating whether that law conflicts with Title IX. Representatives for California's Department of Education and the CIF did not immediately return requests for comment on Wednesday's lawsuit. A spokesperson for Democratic Gov. Gavin Newsom, who has clashed publicly with Trump over the president's threats to the state's funding and recent immigration raids in Los Angeles, did not respond to a request for comment. In the debut episode of his podcast, 'This is Gavin Newsom,' in March, Newsom said he found transgender athletes in girls' and women's sports 'deeply unfair,' breaking with most other elected Democrats. At a press conference in Modesto, Calif., the following month, Newsom, a likely contender for the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination, said he would be 'open' to a conversation about limiting trans athletes' participation if it were conducted 'in a way that's respectful and responsible and could find a kind of balance.' Republican lawmakers and Trump administration officials have latched onto Newsom's comments about trans athletes, demanding the governor stand on his beliefs and act against their participation. Education Secretary Linda McMahon called Newsom's remarks 'empty political grandstanding' on Monday after California's Education Department and the CIF declined to sign OCR's proposed resolution agreement. 'The Governor of California has previously admitted that it is 'deeply unfair' to force women and girls to compete with men and boys in competitive sports,' Attorney General Pam Bondi said in announcing Wednesday's lawsuit. 'But not only is it 'deeply unfair,' it is also illegal under federal law.' Since Trump's return to office in January, the administration has aggressively pursued the issue of trans athletes, launching investigations into more than two dozen states, school districts, athletic associations and colleges and universities. The University of Pennsylvania last week agreed to bar transgender athletes from its women's sports teams and remove individual women's swimming records set by Lia Thomas, a former student and the first trans woman to win an NCAA Division I championship in 2022. In a letter addressed to the Penn community, J. Larry Jameson, the university's president, wrote that refusing to sign the administration's agreement 'could have had significant and lasting implications for the University of Pennsylvania.' The Trump administration previously suspended $175 million in federal contracts awarded to Penn. That money was released to the school after it signed the agreement. The Justice Department has also taken legal action against Maine over its refusal to ban transgender girls from participating in girls' school sports. Democratic Gov. Janet Mills called the suit 'an unprecedented campaign to pressure the State of Maine to ignore the Constitution and abandon the rule of law.' In April, Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison (D) sued Trump and Bondi over threats to that state's federal funding if it did not comply with Trump's order to bar transgender students from participating on teams that match their gender identity.

California rejects Trump demand to ban trans athletes
California education officials have formally rejected the Trump administration's demand to bar transgender girls from girls' school sports teams, escalating tensions between the Golden State and the White House. The state's Department of Education on Monday declined to sign a proposed resolution agreement with the administration that would have required it to instruct schools across California to ban trans girls from girls' sports; adopt 'biology-based' definitions of the terms 'male' and 'female;' strip transgender female athletes of their titles and records and apologize to cisgender girls for allowing their educational experiences 'to be marred by sex discrimination.' The U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights (OCR) sent the proposal to California's Education Department and the California Interscholastic Federation (CIF), which oversees high school sports in the state, late last month following investigations that concluded the agencies were violating Title IX, the federal law against sex discrimination in schools. President Trump's administration has argued since his return to power in January that Title IX prohibits schools from allowing transgender student-athletes to compete on girls' and women's sports teams. At a signing ceremony for a February executive order opposing their participation, Trump said he was putting schools that refuse to kick trans girls off girls' sports teams 'on notice' and threatened their funding. He took explicit aim at California in May, writing on Truth Social that he would pull 'large scale federal funding' from the state if it did not take immediate action to prevent a transgender 16-year-old from competing in a state high school track-and-field championship meet later that month. State officials refused, and the student shared the second- and first-place podiums with other girls at the state finals in Clovis, Calif., in June, after the CIF changed its competition rules to allow additional students to compete and medal in events where she qualified. In a brief communication to OCR on Monday, California Education Department General Counsel Len Garfinkel wrote that the department 'respectfully disagrees with OCR's analysis, and it will not sign the proposed resolution agreement.' In a separate letter, Diane Marshall-Freeman, general counsel to the CIF, said the organization would also not sign the proposed agreement. Education Secretary Linda McMahon, who posted screenshots of both letters on her official X account, criticized the responses and said earlier comments by California Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) expressing some reservations about allowing transgender girls to compete against and alongside cisgender girls were 'empty political grandstanding.' The California governor and likely contender for the 2028 Democratic presidential nomination said during a March episode of his podcast, 'This is Gavin Newsom,' that he found transgender athletes participating in girls' and women's athletics 'deeply unfair.' He told reporters the following month that he would be 'open' to a conversation about limiting trans athletes' participation if it were conducted 'in a way that's respectful and responsible and could find a kind of balance.' McMahon said on Tuesday that Newsom would soon hear from Attorney General Pam Bondi, emphasizing a provision in the proposed resolution agreement that California's Education Department and the CIF would face 'imminent enforcement action,' including by the Justice Department, if an agreement were not reached by July 7. A spokesperson for Newsom did not immediately return a request for comment. The Department of Justice is already investigating whether a 2013 California law protecting the right of transgender student-athletes to participate in sports consistent with their gender identity violates Title IX. California's refusal to comply with the administration's demands to ban trans students from girls' and women's sports comes days after the University of Pennsylvania agreed to do so following a similar OCR investigation. The school, Trump's alma mater, also agreed to remove from its leaderboard individual women's swimming records set by Lia Thomas, a former student and the first transgender woman to win an NCAA Division I national championship. For months, the Trump administration has been locked in a battle over transgender athletes' participation in Maine, which, like California, has refused to ban trans girls from girls' school sports despite the White House's demands.
