Former Minnesota Vikings captain and University of Minnesota football player Jack Brewer watched as the U.S. Department of Justice sued his family’s state for refusing to keep men out of women’s sports.
The Justice Department announced Monday that it will sue educational agencies in Minnesota over their continued refusal to comply with President Donald Trump’s mandate to keep biological trans male athletes out of high school girls’ sports in the state. The DOJ alleged that the state Department of Education (MDE) and the Minnesota State High School League (MSHSL) violate Title IX.
Brewer, who has been a vocal and frequent critic of the state’s Democratic leadership, said he is “sick.”

“And I’m sick and tired of it,” Brewer told Pak Gazette Digital.
“The fact that we have billions of dollars coming from the federal government to fund these twisted ideologies… This is why there is such a rise in transgenderism across the United States, because states like Minnesota are literally brainwashing children.
“I have former teammates and family members who have to deal with the realities of these public schools in Minneapolis, seeing the lack of respect that comes from these kids, seeing how kids are sexualized and celebrating things about whether or not you want to be with a man or a woman, just completely sexualizing them.”
Brewer condemned the state for its commitment to protecting transgender athletes amid his concerns about educational resources made available to Black Minnesota students.

“If they really cared about equality, then they would go out and put funds into educating the most underserved people, educating their children of color, but they don’t do that,” Brewer said.
Brewer praised President Donald Trump and Attorney General Pam Bondi for their decision to sue state education agencies.
“President Trump and Pam Bondi are right to address this issue, and I applaud their continued leadership in protecting young women and girls, especially athletes, by upholding the original intent of Title IX and the protections it was meant to ensure. They should continue to fight to correct this. It’s common sense,” she said.
Minnesota has resisted changing its policies regarding transgender athletes. The state filed a preemptive lawsuit last year, saying the state’s human rights law supersedes President Donald Trump’s executive orders. The lawsuit said at the time that the state was already in compliance with Title IX. A ruling is pending on the federal government’s motion to dismiss the case.
The federal government said in a statement Monday that the state violates Title IX “by requiring girls to compete against boys in athletic competitions designated exclusively for girls and by allowing boys to invade intimate spaces designated exclusively for girls, such as locker rooms and multi-person bathrooms.”
The Justice Department said MDE funding, which amounts to $3 billion annually from the U.S. Departments of Education and Health and Human Services, depends on its compliance with Title IX.

The lawsuit asked a federal court in Minnesota to declare that the state violates Title IX.
“The Minnesota Department of Education is reviewing the submission and remains committed to ensuring that all children, regardless of background, ZIP code or ability, have access to a world-class education and every opportunity to thrive as themselves in safe and supportive school communities,” the department said.
