US EditionPortland Public Schools triggers Trump administration investigation into transgender athlete participation
- On Tuesday, the U.S. Department of Education's civil rights office announced an investigation into the Portland, Oregon, school system and the Oregon School Activities Association regarding a transgender high school runner competing in female sports, a policy overseen by OSAA.
- The investigation, conducted under Title IX of the Civil Rights Act, stems from a complaint that the district and OSAA allowed a transgender athlete to compete in girls' track and field, raising concerns about sex discrimination.
- The transgender athlete competed in the 200 meter and 400 meter events at the Portland Interscholastic League Championship, reportedly winning easily in both events over the past two years, and also uses the girls' locker rooms.
- Acting Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights Craig Trainor stated, "We will not allow the Portland Public Schools District or any other educational entity that receives federal funds to trample on the antidiscrimination protections that women and girls are guaranteed under law," reflecting the Trump administration's stance against transgender athletes in women's sports.
- Superintendent Kimberlee Armstrong affirmed Portland Public Schools' cooperation with the investigation and compliance with Oregon state law, while also emphasizing the district's commitment to all students, acknowledging that Oregon state law may differ from federal guidance, and that settlements are more common than penalties for Title IX violations.
