Washington state’s education department is under investigation for allegedly violating privacy regulations, parents’ rights, and Title IX laws established to protect women’s equality in scholastic sports, federal officials announced this week.

A Title IX special investigations team comprising Department of Justice and U.S. Department of Education employees received reports that the Evergreen State’s Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction required school districts to allow males to participate in female sports and “occupy female-only intimate facilities,” an April 30 statement on the U.S. Education Department’s website said.
