Stefanik calls for federal investigation into NY schools allowing transgender athletes
Republican representative Elise Stefanik from New York has called for a federal investigation into the Saratoga Springs City School District concerning it’s decision to allow transgender athletes to compete in women’s sports. This action comes in response to the district’s resolution, which affirms support for students’ gender identities and opposes former President Trump’s executive order that aimed to restrict participation in women’s sports based on biological sex. Stefanik argues that such policies compromise the fairness of competitive sports for biological females and seeks accountability from the Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights. The district’s stance reflects a broader commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion, which contrasts with Stefanik’s views and the agenda she claims to support alongside Trump’s vision for protecting girls in athletics.
Elise Stefanik calls for federal investigation into NY schools allowing transgender athletes
Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY) demanded a federal investigation into a New York school district over its “blatant rejection” of President Donald Trump’s executive order on protecting girls and women’s sports.
The “Keeping Men Out of Women’s Sports” executive order offered a new interpretation of Title IX to clarify it only applied to biological sex. This was meant to keep transgender athletes out of women’s sports.
Despite Trump’s executive order, Saratoga Springs City School District went another direction by passing a resolution titled “Affirming Our Support for Every Student” to assert that its schools will respect students’ “gender identity.” This resolution applies to sports, school events, and facility use.
“Our daughters should not be forced to compete against biological men in competitive sports or share a locker room with biological men,” Stefanik wrote in a Monday letter to Department of Education Secretary Linda McMahon. The representative went on to call on the department’s Office of Civil Rights to investigate and hold the district “accountable under federal law.”
“I join President Trump in his commitment to protect our nation’s girls and daughters. This Far Left woke ideology has no place in our communities,” Stefanik wrote. “I look forward to working together to enforce President Donald Trump’s agenda and hold education institutions and governing bodies like the Saratoga Springs City School District Board of Education accountable.”
The SSCSD includes six elementary schools, a single middle school, and one high school. These schools are also compliant with the New York State Board of Regents’ diversity, equity, and inclusion framework.

Maine was the first state targeted by the Departments of Education and Justice. Attorney General Pam Bondi left the door open to pursue California and Minnesota as well.
Even though Gov. Gavin Newsom (D-CA) acknowledged that transgender athletes make women’s sports “deeply unfair,” his state continues to facilitate them. Education Secretary Linda McMahon cited Newsom’s comment in a letter demanding that the state school system comply or else lose its federal funding.
