JUDICIAL PROCEDURE FULLS A CAMPINATION PROMISE OF TRUMP OF “KEEPING MEN OUT OF Women’s Sports”
The government led by Republican Donald Trump advanced on Wednesday with a lawsuit against the state of California for allowing transgender athletes to compose women’s sports teams of secondary education.
This California State decision also endangers thousands of millions of dollars in federal scholarships for education, the EFE agency said.
The US Department of Justice argued in the complaint issued Wednesday that California violates title IX, a 1972 federal law prohibiting sex-based discrimination in any program or educational activity that receives federal funds.
According to the complaint, the California Department of Education (CDE) and the California Interescolar Federation (CIF) have committed illegal discrimination against athletes by allowing transgender athletes to compete against them, “depriving them of equal educational and sports opportunities” granted to them by the Federal Civil Rights Law.
The Justice Department also threatened to remove immediate and future federal aid and impose sanctions on the state of the west of the country.
The current resource allocation of the US Department of Education for the CDE for the 2025 fiscal year is approximately $ 44.3 billion, according to the data presented in the process.
California governor, Democrat Gavin Newsom, expressed concern about the permission of transgender athletes competing in female teams.
US Attorney General Pam Bondi, agreed on Wednesday with the statements of the Democratic Governor, classifying, in a statement, the strength of women and girls to compete with men and boys in competitive sports such as “deeply unfair” but also illegal according to federal law.
US Secretary of Education, Linda McMahon, told Fox News station that the lawsuit fulfills a campaign promise of Trump of “keeping men out of women’s sports.”
