Feds to investigate WA district that let trans athlete play basketball game
Washington’s Tumwater School District faces a federal investigation from the Trump administration over allowing a transgender athlete from an opposing team to compete in a girls’ high school basketball game last month.
The U.S. Department of Education announced the Title IX investigation Monday, after a conservative organization filed a complaint on behalf of a 15-year-old student from Tumwater, near Olympia. The girl sat out a Feb. 6 game “for fear of her safety” because a player from Shelton High School was trans, according to the department.
She alleges the school district knew Shelton had a trans athlete ahead of time, and still let her play. Her complaint says she now faces a district investigation for misgendering the Shelton player. She argues this amounts to sex discrimination.
A second Tumwater player also sat out the game, according to The Olympian.
