Trans athlete policies in 4 WA school districts face scrutiny from feds
Four Washington school districts are under federal investigation for reportedly allowing transgender girls to compete in girls’ sports, escalating long-simmering tensions between the Trump administration and the state over the issue.
The U.S. Department of Education launched the probes Wednesday into the Tacoma, Vancouver, Cheney and Sultan school districts in response to complaints. Across the country, 14 other districts, colleges and state education departments face similar new investigations.
The Trump administration began at least two inquiries in Washington last year on related issues, one targeting the state’s Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction.
According to the Department of Education, Cheney allegedly allowed a trans girl to compete on the girls’ track team; Sultan let a trans girl on the volleyball team; Tacoma allowed a trans girl into “female intimate spaces” and onto sports teams; and Vancouver allowed a trans girl on the girls’ bowling team.
