Washington School Board Demands ‘Urgent’ Federal Intervention to Protect Girls’ Sports, Spaces

Washington state is in violation of federal law that protects girls’ sports and private spaces, a local school board claimed in a Title IX complaint this week.

The Kennewick School District board of directors filed a Title IX complaint with the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights this week, claiming that state policies which allow “biological males to compete in girls’ sports and use female locker rooms directly violate federal law, undermine Title IX, and jeopardize critical federal funding.”
