Breaking: The U.S. Department of Education just delivered a scathing verdict—California’s education system and athletic federation are violating Title IX. The reason? They’ve been letting biological males compete against girls in women’s sports, and federal investigators aren’t having it.
Think about the high school girl who trained for years, only to watch her state championship disappear. Or the college-bound athlete whose scholarship hopes dimmed because someone with clear biological advantages took her spot on the podium. These aren’t hypothetical scenarios—they’re happening in California right now.
The federal findings don’t mince words: this is discrimination. When we prioritize ideology over biology, real people pay the price. And in this case, young women have dedicated their lives to their sport.
California’s Department of Education and the California Interscholastic Federation thought they could ignore federal law. They chose state politics over student protection. Now they’ve got ten days to make things right, or the Justice Department steps in.
This is precisely why we need a government that knows its limits—when officials get too comfortable ignoring the rules, citizens suffer the consequences.
The ruling demands biology-based competition categories and actual apologies to the athletes who got shortchanged. It’s a chance for California to choose fairness over political theater. The DOE gives a ten day deadline to bring competitive women’s sports into compliance with Title IX
Will they do it? That remains to be seen. But for now, common sense just scored a significant victory.
