Three Connecticut high school athletes are challenging the state's policy of letting transgender athletes compete on sport teams based on their gender identity
The students filed a federal complaint with the US Department of Education claiming the policy violates Title IX, the federal law that aims to ensure students have equal access to opportunities regardless of their sex.The complaint was filed Monday on behalf of three female track athletes by Alliance Defending Freedom , a faith-based non-profit legal organization. Only one of the athletes, Selina Soule, was named. The complaint said the other two withheld their names for fear of retaliation.
It also requests a reversal of previous track event records to exclude transgender girls from 2017 to the present and for the Education Department's Office of Civil Rights to deny transgender girls access to women's sports in Connecticut. When reached for comment, a Department of Education spokesman could not publicly acknowledge receiving complaints but says it will evaluate all complaints received.
