The Press Office of the Governor of California Gavin Newsom published an X position on Wednesday to address the recent demand of the United States Department of Justice against the Department of Education of California (CDE) and the Interscholastic Federation of California (CIF) on the alleged violations of Title IX.
In the publication, the press office claimed to clarify that Newsom is not appointed in demand.
“Since many people here have become legal experts in the last hours, it would point out that the governor is not appointed as part of this lawsuit,” said the publication.

The publication did not approach the morality of allowing biological males in girls’ sports. However, the post defended the current management of the status of the situation, arguing against how the administration of President Donald Trump has tried to apply title IX in practice.
“The Department of Education of California (CDE) and CIF are * independent * of the Newsom administrator, and are following the existing state law, a law that was approved in 2013, signed by Governor Jerry Brown, and in line with another 21 states. No court has adopted the interpretation of the interpretation of the title IX that is being advanced by the Trump administrator, and neither the governor, nor the governor, nor the Governor, nor the Governor, nor Government, do not give the magic and annul the title – Donald -only, of California, which annuls Trump’s law, which annuls Trump’s law, which annuls Trump’s law, which annuls Trump’s law, is not a gift of law, which annuls Trump’s law.
“No court has adopted the interpretation of Title IX that is being advanced by Trump’s administrator, and neither the governor, nor they can shake a magical wand and cancel it, unlike Donald Trump, California follows the law, not personal opinions.”
The publication was criticized in X.
On Tuesday, Newsom was asked again about his thoughts on transgender athletes competing in girls and women’s sports.
“I struggled with the issue of equity when it came to sports,” he said in an event in South Carolina. “And we tried to solve that a couple of years ago, and we were not successful, and we fought with that recently.
“And my position is that I do not think it is fair, but I also think that it is degrading to talk to people and belittle the trans community. And I do not like the way in which the right talks about the trans community. These people just want to survive.”

Newspaper He said in a statement that the CDE and CIF followed the laws promulgated in 2013.
The demand of the DOJ is asking for a court order in the State’s policy that allows men to compete against women in sports.
California’s policies “Evisce the same athletics opportunities for girls … They also require girls to share intimate spaces, such as locker room, with boys, causing a hostile educational environment that denies the educational opportunities of girls,” said the demand.
“The results of these illegal policies are marked: girls are displaced from podiums, prizes are denied and critical visibility for scholarships and university recognition are lost.”
The current state policy allows athletes to participate in sports “consisting of” their gender identity. State officials have argued that this does not violate the equal protection clause of the fourteenth amendment.
The CIF told Pak Gazette Digital that he does not comment on legal matters.
The CDE did not comment on pending litigation.

The United States Department of Education recently found California in violation of Title IX. However, the CDE and the CIF refused to sign the proposed resolution agreement offered by the department at the end of last month. The CDE and the CIF occurred until July 7 to meet the demand. They refused, and now there will be a legal battle.
It will be the second legal battle that the Department of Justice is fighting for the issue, after having launched a similar against Maine in April.
