The newly trained title IX investigation team of President Donald Trump was called in Washington.
The Secretary of the Ministry of Education (DOE), Linda McMahon, announced Wednesday that the team will launch an investigation into the public education superintendent of Washington, the office of Chris Reykdal.
The team, a joint initiative of the DOE and the United States Ministry of Justice (DoJ), takes measures in response to Reykdal demanding that schools authorize biologically male schools in women’s sports teams.
“Several school districts in the state of Washington have reported that the OSPI demands that school boards will adopt policies that allow men to participate in female sports and to occupy intimate facilities reserved for women, which raises substantial concerns of title IX,” said the announcement.

McMahon issued a warning to Reykdal and the rest of the Democrat controlled state.
“The state of Washington seems to use its position of authority to force its districts to hide the information of” gender identity “of the parents of the students and to adopt policies to secretly pass the gender ideology in the class, confusing students and leaving boys in sports, bathrooms and changing rooms,” said McMahon.
“If this is true, it is clear violations of parental rights and female equality in athletics, which are protected by federal laws that will be applied by the Trump administration.”
Reykdal made a statement to PK Press Club Digital and did not indicate that his office would cooperate with the federal investigation.
“My work as head of this constitutional office is to communicate, maintain and apply the law,” said Reykdal. “My office will apply our current laws as we must do until the congress changes the law and / or the federal courts invalidate the laws of the state of Washington. Unless, and until it occurs, we will follow the laws of the state of Washington, not the political trends of a president expressed by illegal orders.”
Reykdal spoke to defend Transgender athletes In Girls Sports in an address on February 20, saying that it was “inaccurate” to say that there are only two sexes.
“It is simply inaccurate to say, biologically, that there are only boys and that there are only girls,” Reykdal told the camera. “There is a continuum. There is a science to this. There are children who are Born intersexated. There are children whose hormones and whose chromosomes do not comply with their sex at birth. “”

Washington high school athletes are allowed to compete according to their gender identity rather than their biological sex. Washington Interscholastic Activities Association (WIAA) policy stipulates that each athlete will participate in programs “in accordance with their most systematically expressed” gender identity or gender and there are no medical or legal requirements.

The Kennewick School Board has filed a complaint in title IX to the DOE civil rights office against the Reykdal office at the end of March on the issue.
The president of the Kennewick School Board, Gabe Galbraith, previously told PK Press Club that the district requested federal intervention to ensure that the order will eventually be honored.

“There are boys who participate in girls sports. There are boys in the girls’ locker rooms. It is unfair. It is not certain, and we ask the federal government to intervene and end this and ensure that the state is following the statements of President Trump,” he said.
Other school districts have taken a stand against Reykdal since President Trump signed his executive decree “keeping men from female sports” on February 5.
