The secretary of the Ministry of Education, Linda McMahon, announced on Friday that the investigation team on title IX newly formed would probe the incident during a fencing event in the United States when the female vacationer Stephanie Turner was disqualified and escorted out of the site for having taken the knee for protesting a transgender adversary.
McMahon announced the news in an interview on “Faulkner Focus” by PK Press Club.
“We have a special team of investigations on title IX which will investigate anyone who has been associated with this to make sure that this does not continue to happen,” said McMahon. “The president clearly indicated that he will not tolerate men able to participate in female sports, he signed a decree and we maintain title IX.

Who is Stephanie Turner? Fencer of women who knelt to protest against the trans adversary and inflamed the global conscience
A spokesman for the Ministry of Education told PK Press Club Digital that the University of Maryland had a “responsibility” for the incident as a host site of the event where it took place, as well as Wagner College, which previously scored the Fencer Transgenre.
“The nation looked at a competitor to be courageously getting on his knees and lost an intrinsically unfair closing match after discovering that her opponent was a man. Said the spokesman.
“Likewise, the Wagner College is responsible for not authorizing men on the female lists. Unlike the Biden administration, which armed title IX, unlike its service to refuse female athletes their civil rights, the Ministry of Education of the Trump Administration and the Special IX team of the Ministry of Justice will not allow the beneficiaries of federal funding to denigrate the protections of equality women’s federals. ” “”

“The protection of sports of women and women is a key priority for this Ministry of Justice,” said the Attorney General Bondi said on Friday. “This effort to collaborate with the Ministry of Education will allow our lawyers to take full measures when sports or women’s spaces are threatened and use the full power of the law to remedy any violation of the civil rights of women.”
