President Donald Trump’s administration is not messing around when it comes to defending Title IX.
The Education Department and Health and Human Services found that Minnesota violated Title IX by allowing males to participate in female sports.
The Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) and the Minnesota State High School League (MSHSL) did not stop males from competing on female lacrosse, track & field, volleyball, and fastpitch softball teams.
“For too many years, Minnesota’s political leadership has found itself on the wrong side of justice, common sense, and the American people. Now the Minnesota Department of Education and the Minnesota State High School League find themselves on the wrong side of Title IX by allowing males to compete in women’s sports,” stated Education Acting Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights Craig Trainor. “The Trump Administration will not allow Minnesota or any other state to sacrifice the safety, fair treatment, and dignity of its female students to appease the false idols of radical gender ideology. Once an education program or entity takes federal funds, Title IX compliance becomes mandatory. And the federal government will hold Minnesota accountable until it recognizes that fact.”
Pitcher Charlie “Marissa” Rothenberger made national news with his shutout games, leading Champlin Park to the state championship.
Charlie pitched all 21 innings, giving up only two hits.
The Education Department elevated its investigation into Minnesota after Charlie made those headlines.
Three female high school softball players sued the state, but a federal judge threw out the case.
U.S. District Judge Eric Tostrud claimed the attorneys did not show “as a factual matter that bylaw-created disparities are sufficiently substantial to deny its members ‘effective accommodation’ or ‘equal treatment’ as those concepts are defined under Title IX.”
Excuse me? Males are not allowed in female sports.
