Leave it to California to continue its quest to be known as the most deplorable state in the Union.
The Golden State has rejected the Department of Education's resolution agreement that was offered to meet California halfway on protecting K-12 female athletes from being forced to compete against dudes.
The debatable severity of "hearing from Pam Bondi" notwithstanding, Newsom's rejection once again places California squarely at odds with the Trump administration.
Breitbart has more on the story:
Len Garfinkel, who serves as the general counsel for the California Department of Education (CDE), informed Bradley Burke, the regional director for the Department of Education's Office of Civil Rights (OCR) in a letter that CDE 'respectfully disagrees' with the OCR's analysis, according to the Sacramento Bee.
The letter from Garfinkel came after the Department of Education under Secretary of Education Linda McMahon 'gave California 10 days from June 27 to rescind any sports prizes awarded to trans athletes and ban them' from participating in girls' sports.
President Trump has threatened to revoke the federal funding for any state that refuses to comply with the administration's order to ban men from competing in women's sports, and is already involved in litigation against the state of Maine due to a similar situation.
So, have no fear, Californians: Gavin Newsom will continue to stand guard to make sure the state serves as the gold standard of uncontrollable wildfires, rampant lawlessness, and dudes destroying girls' sports.
Newsom 2028!
