President Donald Trump has made it clear: if public schools don’t follow the law when it comes to transgender policies, they won’t get federal money. This week, he told California schools to stop allowing boys who say they’re girls to play on girls’ sports teams and use girls’ bathrooms—or lose funding.
This isn’t just about politics. It’s about protecting fairness and safety for young women across America. As a veteran, I’ve seen what happens when rules are ignored. When you mix up the basics—like what it means to be male or female—you create chaos. And in this case, it’s young girls who suffer.
Let’s break it down. Title IX is a federal law from the 1970s that makes sure women and girls get equal opportunities in schools and sports. It was written to protect female athletes, giving them the chance to compete fairly, earn scholarships, and succeed. But now, some schools—especially in California—are twisting that law. They’re letting biological boys who identify as girls compete in girls’ sports. That’s not fair. It’s not equal. And it’s not safe.
President Trump is standing up and saying enough is enough. If a school district in California refuses to follow the law, they’ll lose federal funding. That’s over $44 billion for the state’s schools next year alone. That’s a big deal. And it sends a clear message: if you want federal dollars, you play by federal rules.
This isn’t just a California problem. Schools in Northern Virginia are also being warned. Districts like Fairfax, Loudoun, and Arlington could lose their funding too. The Biden-era woke policies that let boys into girls’ locker rooms and onto girls’ teams are now being challenged head-on. Finally.
The Department of Education has placed those Virginia school districts on “high-risk” status. That means every dollar they get from the federal government will be watched closely. If they don’t prove they’re using that money legally, they’ll lose it. It’s about time someone held them accountable.
Harmeet Dhillon, who works for the Justice Department, put it perfectly. Title IX was meant to protect girls. If schools let boys take over girls’ sports, they’re stealing opportunities. They’re stealing trophies, college scholarships, and the chance for girls to shine. It’s not equality—it’s erasure.
In February, President Trump signed an executive order backing this up. The order says schools that take away fair chances from girls—by letting biological males compete against them—will lose their funding. It’s not just a warning. It’s policy.
Some critics will say this is political. But for those of us who served, we know what it looks like when standards break down. When you start ignoring biological reality, you put people in danger. In war, if you ignore who’s fit for the job, people die. In schools, if you ignore who’s fit to compete, young women lose their dreams.
Trump’s stance is simple: protect girls, follow the law, or lose your funding. That’s the kind of leadership we need today—bold, clear, and unapologetic.
This is more than a fight over bathrooms or sports. It’s a fight over truth. And in America, we don’t back down from the truth. We stand up for it. We fight for fairness. And we protect those who deserve it.
President Trump is doing just that. And for the sake of our daughters, sisters, and granddaughters, we should all stand with him.
