The U.S. Justice Department has escalated its campaign against transgender athletes participating in school sports, particularly in California. This follows pressures from the Trump administration aimed at enforcing a prohibition on these athletes. The recent directive comes after a successful performance by a transgender athlete, AB Hernandez, prompting school districts to be cautioned about legal repercussions if they do not conform to new guidelines. Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon warns districts must cease complying with CIF rules that permit transgender participation or risk legal action, citing an infringement on biological girls' rights. The CIF's recent adjustments are notably excluded from these discussions.
Assistant Atty. Gen. Harmeet Dhillon stated that schools must stop complying with CIF rules allowing transgender athletes or face legal consequences, emphasizing the constitutional rights of biological girls to compete.
The letter highlighted that the Justice Department aims to 'protect' girls' sports, stating that allowing transgender athletes to compete denies girls opportunities based on their biological sex.
