WASHINGTON – President Donald Trump threatened to block federal financing if California did not prevent the girl in high school transgender from competing in the path and field finals, and he said he would discuss it with the ruler Gavin New News on Tuesday.
It seems that Trump, in a post on social media, refers to AB Herndenz, 16, who qualified to compete in the long jump championship and high and three -ranked California in a secondary school in Klofis, California, at the end of this week.
CIF is the governing body of secondary schools in California, and its regulations state that all students “must have the opportunity to participate in CIF activities in a way that is consistent with their sexual identity.” California law prohibits discrimination, including in schools, based on sexual identity.
Trump, a Republican, indicated his position on social media on Tuesday to the California governor as a radical “democratic left” and said: “This is not fair, and is completely degrading for women and girls.”
He said he was ordering the local authorities not to allow the transient athlete to compete in the finals.
Under the constitutions of the United States and California, officials and individuals in the United States and individuals are not subject to the orders of the president, who cannot generally issue orders to agencies and members of the federal government’s executive.
Trump threatened that “a large -scale federal financing will object, perhaps permanently”, if his demands are not met. Certainly, such a move will lead to a legal challenge by California, which filed a lawsuit against many Trump’s actions that it says is illegal or unconstitutional.
Trump also referred to the comments by Newsom on podcasts in March when the ruler also said he believed the competition that involves sexually transgender girls is “very unfair”.
A newsom spokesman declined to comment on Trump’s comments, but he pointed to the comments made by news in April when he said that the cancellation of the 12 -year -old California law that allows converted athletes to participate in sports was not a priority.
“You are talking about a very small number of people,” Newsom told reporters. Of the 5.8 million students in the California public school system, there are less than 10 active athletes for students, according to the ruler’s office.
A CIF spokesman did not answer the questions, and Hernandez could not have been accessed immediately for comment.
Some local school officials and parents have sought to prevent Hernandez from competition; Others spoke to support Hernandez and condemn what they say is the bullying of the teenager.
In an interview with Capital & Main, Hernandez rejected the allegations that she had an unfair biological feature in sport, noting that while she was ranked first in a triple jump event this month, she ranked eighth in the high and third jump in the long jump.
Hernandez said of her mixed presentation: “All I thought is, I don’t think you understand that this puts your stupid garbage demands,” Hernandez said of her mixed offer.
