Assemblyman David Tangipa Opposes CIF Policy on Girls Track Event

Assemblyman David Tangipa is speaking out against the California Interscholastic Federation’s (CIF) recent policy allowing a biological male athlete to compete in the girls division of the CIF State Track & Field Championships. In a statement released this week, Tangipa said the CIF’s pilot policy undermines the fairness of competition and contradicts federal Title IX protections designed to ensure equal opportunities for female athletes.
