The US Department of Education opened an investigation into the title IX on Monday on the Tumwater School District (TSD) in the state of Washington for a largely publicized incident involving a girl on the allegedly punished for refusing to play a basketball match against a trans athlete.
This is one of the first incidents of a school district prohibiting trans -sports athletes from girls, complying with the executive decree “No Men in Women’s Sports” by President Donald Trump, while the state as a whole chooses to challenge it.

“Many of us can disagree with the decree, but we, as members of the school board, are taken between a rock and a difficult place,” said Jill Adams, member of the TSD board of directors. “I support different points of view, I support different ways of living, but it is difficult. I am taken between the two, not a rock, but a rock and a hard surface.”
The members of the Board of Directors cited the recent incident involving Staudt and the national counterpoup, in its decision to prohibit trans athletes and to comply with the order of Trump.
However, Trump’s administration still makes its reasonable diligence in the investigation into the incident after the filing of civil rights complaint.
“The surveys led by the OCR on educational institutions, state of education, interscholastic associations and school districts show that the Trump education department will vigorously apply title IX to ensure that men stop competing with women’s sports,” said Craig Train, acting assistant secretary for civil rights. “If Washington wants to continue to receive federal funds from the ministry, he must follow the federal law.”
The complaint allegedly alleged that the district had investigated Staudt, 15 years old, to have a “megotation” an adversary and violated the policies of the district against intimidation and harassment on February 7.
According to the document, before the match, Staudt asked the School Sports Director and the player if the player was a biological man. The administrators would then have confirmed that they had been informed that the player was transgender, but denied his pleads for the player to be withdrawn.

Staudt withdrew from the game. Then, according to the document, an TSD employee would have confronted Staudt’s younger brother for taking a video of the game, saying: “You better think about what you are doing at the moment.”
Staudt and her mother, Aime, explained how her refusal to play against a biological man sparked a storm of fire with the school district of Tumwater During a “Fox & Friends” Interview last week.
“They [the school district] I could have prevented this to happen, “said Steve Doory on Thursday.” They certainly knew that there would be this situation, and they had a meeting, the director, the superintendent and the sports director to discuss the fact that it was a potential situation that happened. “”
Aimee believes that if families had been informed of the situation in advance and that the players had the opportunity to sit out of the game, that could have given a different result.
“But they didn’t do this,” she said. “They put the children on the spot, and my daughter was the one who rose in this situation, and … she was exposed … it was horrible in the way they manipulated her.”
Meanwhile, the Trans athlete, Andi Rooks, appeared alongside the father of the athlete on the YouTube series “[un]Divided with Brandie Kruse“To solve the problem.
“I never had a problem before this match, and my goal was never to make anyone uncomfortable in any way, and I did not even know that Frances had a problem before I cried in the match,” said Rooks. “If she had had a conversation with me before the match, I would have withdrawn. My last thing I want to do is make someone uncomfortable.”
Washington is one of the many blue states that have refused to comply with Trump’s decree, because Wiaa’s policy declares that each athlete will participate in programs “in accordance with their most coherent gender or gender” and there are not even medical or legal requirements. Bill that would prohibit transgender girls from participating in the sports of girls and women have been introduced but were not adopted.
Washington’s state superintendent, Chris Reykdal, spoke to defend Transgender athletes In the sports of girls in an address last week, saying that it was “inaccurate” to say that there are only two sexes. Reykdal insisted that Trump does not have authority as president to ban trans athletes in girls’ sports, but conceded the US Congress.
“Until the congress changes the law or our state legislature changes the law, we will follow the current law and the current framework for the civil rights of this state, and that is what he tells us to do,” said Reykdal.
The Ministry of Education is also investigating secondary school sports associations in California, Minnesota, Massachusetts and Maine for challenging Trump.
