‘Male pitcher’: Minnesota’s transgender radicalism lands state in violation of Title IX
Warned a DOJ referral is coming unless officials fix their practices and protect female athletes
The transgender radicalism in the state of Minnesota, run by Democrat Gov. Tim Walz, has landed the state in violation of federal law.
Officials there have been given 10 days by the Department of Education to comply with the federal Title IX statute or face a Department of Justice referral.
It’s because the state’s transgender agenda that infringes on the rights of girls has allowed a boy to be on a girls’ high school softball team.
The violation notice also confirmed that the state has let males into girls’ alpine skiing, girls’ Nordic skiing, girls’ lacrosse, girls’ track and field and girls’ volleyball 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,” explained Craig Trainor, the DOE acting assistant secretary of civil rights.
“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.”
The state was allowed 10 days to change its policies to comply with federal law.
A report from Fox News said it also must comply with President Donald Trump’s “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports” order.
The determination of violation came from both the Department of Education and the Department of Health and Human Services.
“President Donald Trump’s administration found the Minnesota Department of Education (MDE) and the Minnesota State High School League (MSHSL) in violation of Title IX after two months-long investigation into state policies and a transgender pitcher leading a girls’ high school softball team to a state championship,” Fox reported.
Specifically, the report charged the “male pitcher” in question “overpowered female athletes during five consecutive matches, only giving up one earned run over the source of 35 innings and striking out 27 female batters.”
The state has been told to change any provisions letting males compete in girls’ sports, and ensure that interscholastic programs in the state comply with the federal law.
They also must adopt biology-based definitions of “male” and “female.”
Further, the state must restore to female athletes all records and titles misappropriated by males and apologize.
The threat includes a referral to the DOJ, which already has sued Maine and California over the same misbehavior.
