Carter calls for review of junior colleges allowing men to compete in women’s sports

WASHINGTON, D.C. – Rep. Earl L. “Buddy” Carter (R-GA) today sent a letter to Attorney General Pam Bondi and U.S. Department of Education Secretary Linda McMahon urging an immediate review of the National Junior College Athletic Association’s (NJCAA), California Community College Athletic Association’s (CCCAA), and Northwest Athletic Conference’s (NWAC) policies that allow biological males to compete in women’s sports. In the letter, Rep. Carter writes: “As recently reported by The Washington Times, junior colleges ‘still welcome transgender athletes’ in women’s divisions…These policies raise substantial concerns regarding fairness, safety, and equal athletic opportunity for women.” Rep. Carter continues: “This permissive approach appears inconsistent with Title IX’s requirement that federally funded institutions protect equal opportunities for female athletes… Protecting the integrity of women’s sports is a core civil rights obligation. I urge the [Department of Justice and Department of Education] to act promptly.” Read the full letter here . ###
