The Trump administration has launched investigations into potential civil rights violations at two universities and a high school sports league over their policies allowing transgender athletes to compete on women's teams. The Education Department announced on Thursday that it is reviewing San Jose State University volleyball, the University of Pennsylvania's swimming program, and the Massachusetts Interscholastic Athletic Association.
This move follows President Donald Trump's recent executive order aimed at banning transgender athletes from participating in girls’ and women’s sports. The order emphasizes penalties against schools and leagues, citing concerns that allowing transgender athletes to compete could deprive female students of equality.
