The Trump administration has found that California violated Title IX by allowing transgender girls, biologically male athletes, to compete in girls' school sports teams. The U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights concluded that the California Department of Education and the California Interscholastic Federation breached federal civil rights law by permitting this practice. Education Secretary Linda McMahon announced that California, along with its interscholastic sports federation, is in violation of Title IX and has been given a 10-day deadline to comply or face referral to the Department of Justice.

This decision escalates a monthlong dispute between California and the federal government over transgender student policies. Additionally, the Department of Health and Human Services issued California a 60-day deadline to remove all references to "gender ideology" from its federally funded sex education curricula, citing concerns about indoctrination. The federal government has since frozen approximately $6.8 billion in federal education funds, impacting California significantly, as part of broader actions targeting states that do not align with the administration's policies on transgender issues and educational content. The freeze includes $5 billion allocated for migrant student programs nationwide. Meanwhile, the federal government has also launched a Title IX investigation into Minnesota following a transgender male athlete's participation in a girls' softball state championship. California officials have responded to the funding freeze, emphasizing the ongoing conflict with the federal administration over education policies.
