## Key points

- Washington voters approved a ban on males competing in girls’ school sports.
- Opponents are challenging the measure before it takes effect on 3 December.
- Federal officials are investigating several school policies under Title IX.

## Summary

Washington voters approved Initiative 638 by more than 57%, barring biological males from girls’ K-12 sports, but opponents have filed a court challenge to prevent it taking effect on 3 December. The article argues that Democratic officials in Washington and Colorado are seeking to weaken voter-approved protections, and supports federal intervention to uphold them.

It reports that Colorado Governor-elect Phil Weiser has called for the legislature to revise that state’s new protections for female student athletes. The US Department of Education has opened a Title IX investigation into Washington’s Camas School District after a male athlete switched to the girls’ cross-country team and rose from 76th place to first; investigations are also under way in four other Washington districts. The article also notes a federal lawsuit against Minnesota’s education department and high school athletics league, and raises questions about Washington Attorney General Nick Brown’s ties to groups involved in the legal dispute.
