The U.S. Department of Education has asked associations governing sporting events at educational institutions to revoke records and awards secured by males who identified as women while competing in female sports.
On Tuesday, the department’s Office of General Counsel sent a letter to the National Federation of State High School Associations (NFHS) and the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), urging them to “restore to female athletes the records, titles, awards, and recognitions misappropriated by biological males competing in female categories,” the department said in a Feb. 11 statement.
