1. Trump Signs Executive Order Banning Trans Athletes From Women’s Sports

by Amanda Christovich, Front Office Sports

"On Wednesday, President Donald Trump signed an executive order aimed at banning transgender athletes from competing in women’s sports in schools—the latest in a flurry of executive orders since he took office less than a month ago.

Trump said that the order would prohibit any educational institution that receives federal funding from allowing transgender athletes to “take over” women’s sports, and that any schools that violate the executive order would be investigated as having violated Title IX (the statute requiring gender equity in educational institutions). Trump has also said he plans to disband the Department of Education, which oversees Title IX compliance.
