President Joe Biden s Justice Department has withdrawn from a federal lawsuit in Connecticut aiming to prevent transgender athletes from competing in girls high school sports.
Connecticut is one of 17 states that allows high school athletes to compete in sports according to their gender identity without regulation.
The Trump s administration joined the case last March when Attorney General Bill Barr filed a statement of interest arguing the state s policy infringed on Title IX, a federal civil rights law that guarantees girls equal access to school activities.
