Summary
California Republicans have proposed three bills to limit transgender athletes’ participation in women’s sports, clashing with state protections. Concurrently, the U.S. Department of Education is investigating five Virginia school districts for maintaining transgender-inclusive policies in response to complaints from conservative groups. The investigation targets schools in Fairfax, Arlington, Alexandria, Loudoun, and Prince William counties, which continue allowing transgender students access to facilities and programs matching their gender identity. As protests and debates over parental rights surge, the California Interscholastic Federation is maintaining existing protections amidst escalating scrutiny.
