DOJ files lawsuit against Minnesota over transgender athletes in girls sports
The Department of Justice sued Minnesota and its school athletics governing body on Monday, alleging violations of Title IX for allowing transgender girls to compete in girls sports and access female locker rooms and bathrooms. The lawsuit seeks to prohibit transgender girls from competing in girls' prep sports and declares that Minnesota's policies violate federal anti-discrimination law. Minnesota had previously filed a preemptive lawsuit arguing its human rights law supersedes federal directives on this issue.
