From Breitbart:

ED said it initiated the investigations, which span ten states, based on complaints submitted to its Office for Civil Rights (OCR) accusing the entities of violating Title IX. Title IX prohibits sex discrimination as a condition of receiving federal funding for any education program or activity.

The complaints specifically accuse the various educational entities of engaging in sex discrimination by allowing students to participate in sports according to their “gender identity” rather than their sex.

ED said the policies “jeopardize both the safety and the equal opportunities of women in education programs and activities” by allowing males who identify as female to play on girls’ sports teams. The department initiated the investigations a day after the Supreme Court heard two highly consequential cases about state laws banning males, including trans-identifying males, from playing on female sports teams.

Breitbart included a list of the educational entities under investigation. They are Jurupa School District (CA), Placentia-Yorba School District (CA), Santa Monica College (CA), Santa Rosa Junior College (CA), Waterbury Public Schools (CT), Hawaii State Department of Education (HI), Regional School Unit 19 (ME), Regional School Unit 57 (ME), Foxborough Public Schools (MA), University of Nevada – Reno (NV), Bellmore-Merrick Central High School District (NY), New York City Department of Education (NY), Great Valley School District (PA), Champlain Valley School District (VT), Cheney Public Schools (WA), Sultan School District No. 311 (WA), Tacoma Public Schools (WA), and Vancouver Public Schools (WA).

Since taking office, President Trump and his administration have made tackling transgenderism a priority, especially as it impacts children. And, in a statement, Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights Kimberly Richey noted these investigations began the same week that arguments over women’s sports were heard in the Supreme Court. In both the Supreme Court and the Trump administration, those who would endanger girls and distort truth are being held accountable.

Let’s ask God to guide these investigations, and let’s continue to pray for truth to win against the lies of transgenderism!
