A California school board voted to challenge state policy and prohibit the Trans athletes from Girls’ Sports on Tuesday.
The Kern County Board of Education has approved a resolution to comply with the federal definition of title IX.
The vote comes in the middle of a quarrel and a trial between the state and the administration of President Donald Trump on the question of men who participate in the sports of girls. Now, at least one school board has chosen to line up on Trump’s side on state authorities who have strictly committed to keeping men in girls sports this year.

Trump has signed an executive decree to ban men from the sports of girls and women on a national scale in February, but California was one of the first states to publicly challenge the order. The challenge enabled multiple incidents of Athletes Trans in competition in high school girls, cross-country and athletics in 2025, while California schools were designed to continue the law of the State which protected trans inclusion into sports dating from 2014.
The problem came to a head during the Spring High School qualifiers, when the transgender athlete Ab Hernandez from secondary school Jurupa Valley made a race for two state titles for girls.
In May, three of the state -based Christian secondary schools sent a letter to the California Interscolaire Federation (CIF) contesting its longtime policy which allows organic men in the sports of girls. Many residents, girls’ athletes and even whole educational establishments have protested the inclusion of the Trans athlete.
Earlier this month, the Catholic high school Jserra, the Lycée Orange Lutherien and the Crean Lutheran High School sent a joint letter to the CIF on Thursday.
“The CIF identity policy also promotes an environment increasingly hostile to schools of religious members. The expectation of CIF that all confessional schools facilitate CIF gender policy puts religious schools in the untenable position to adhere to their principles of their faith in their classrooms and communities, but practicing something contrary to their faith in their athletic fields,” the letter.
Now the Kern County Board of Education is the first public school board to resist the state and to line up on the side of Trump on the issue.
Maine, which is engulfed in a similar trial with Trump on the same problem, also saw two of its public school councils adopting resolutions in April to locally ban the TRANS athletes from participating in the sports of girls.

Trump’s Ministry of Justice is now pursuing the two states, seeking injunctions on policies that continue to allow men to participate in girls sports and use girls’ locker rooms.
California policies “eviscerate equal sporting opportunities for girls … They also demand that girls share intimate spaces, such as changing rooms, with boys, causing a hostile educational environment that refuses the educational opportunities of girls”, supports the trial against California.
“The results of these illegal policies are struck: the girls are displaced by the catwalks, have denied prices and miss critical visibility for scholarships and the recognition of colleges.”
California Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom said California Department of Education and CIF followed the laws adopted in 2013.
“I had trouble with the question of equity with regard to sport,” said Newsom in response to the trial during a July event. “And we tried to understand this a few years ago, and we failed, and we had trouble with this recently.
“And my position is that I do not think it’s fair, but I also think that it is degrading to speak to people and to lower the trans community. And I don’t like the way the right wing talks about the trans community. These people just want to survive.”
Newsom had previously collected mixed responses in his party when he said that he believed that the men competed in the sports of the girls are “deeply unfair” in an episode of Mars of his podcast. However, he refused to get involved or even support the idea of banning girls’ sports men.
Newsom is not appointed defendant in the DOJ trial.
A Bipartite survey By the public Policy Institute of California noted that the majority of California residents oppose the organic athletes of males participating in female sports.
This figure included more than 70% of Parents of the State School.
“Most Californians argue forced transgender athletes to compete in the teams corresponding to the sex attributed to them at birth,” said the survey.
“The solid majority of adults (65%) and probable voters (64%) argue that transgender athletes compete on teams that correspond to the sexual relations allocated to them, and not on the sex with which they identify. An overwhelming majority of public schools (71%) support such a requirement.”
