The Civil Rights Division of the U.S. Department of Justice filed a lawsuit Wednesday seeking "to enforce Title IX and protect California female student athletes from unfair competition and reckless endangerment by male participation on female high-school sports teams," according to a government announcement.

According to the complaint, the California Department of Education and the California Interscholastic Federation have engaged in illegal sex discrimination against female student-athletes by allowing males to compete against them, depriving these girls of the equal education and athletic opportunities afforded to them by federal civil rights law. Thus, the suit seeks declaratory, injunctive and damages relief for violations of Title IX, which prohibits sex-based discrimination in any education program or activity that receives federal funding.
