“The shameless contempt for California for the security and civil rights of young women and girls is shameful,” Kiley said in a statement. “State political leaders are willing to lose federal funds to maintain politics deeply unfair to allow biological men to compete in women’s sports. This is a clear violation of federal law and common sense.
“As president of the House K-12 Education Subcommittee, I will use all the supervision tools available to hold state politicians responsible, protect our athletes and restore integrity to female athletics.”
Gallagher said the question of having trans athletes in girls sports was reduced to justice.
“California continues to push the dangerous madness of letting men compete in women’s sports,” he said. “This is justice, security and the rule of law. The Superintendent (Tony) Thurmond and Governor Newsom are endangering school sports programs throughout the state, everything to appease a radical agenda and advance their political careers.”

Sánchez added: “The Newsom Department of Education is blatantly violating title IX” and was “doubling.”
“They refuse to protect girls’ sports for biological girls. It is a shocking violation of civil rights that could cost California billions of federal education funds.”

I have attached a copy of the CDE response for its references. Consequently, the CIF will not sign the proposed resolution agreement.”
“California has just rejected our resolution agreement to follow federal law and keep men out of women’s sports,” he wrote about X. “It turns out that the recognition of Governor Newsom that” it is an equity issue “was a great empty political presentation.
“@Cagovernor, you’ll be listening to @agpambondi”.
The OCR announced at the end of last month that the CIF and the CDE violated title IX.

“The CDE will require that each recipient and CIF send an annual certification to CDE that the recipient and the CIF have complied with title IX. Consequently, CDE will also propose that OCR a monitoring plan to ensure that the recipients comply with title IX”.
