California is filing a lawsuit against the Trump administration in response to a demand from the U.S. Department of Justice asking the state to revoke its transgender-inclusive school sports policy. Attorney General Rob Bonta asserts that this demand violates California’s antidiscrimination laws and the U.S. Constitution. The suit aims to protect against federal retaliation regarding education funding. Bonta emphasizes that California will uphold laws protecting the rights of transgender students, despite federal pressure to discriminate.
The president and his administration are demanding that California school districts break the law and violate the Constitution - or face legal retaliation.
Discrimination based on gender identity or expression has been illegal in California since 2012, including school sports.
