California Governor Gavin Newsom is under fire from the Trump administration after flip-flopping on transgender athletes in women’s sports. Education Secretary Linda McMahon slammed Newsom for refusing to act on his own words, demanding he “put your money where your mouth is” by forcing schools to comply with federal law.
Newsom shocked liberals by admitting it’s “deeply unfair” for biological males to compete against girls. He made the remarks on his new podcast while chatting with conservative activist Charlie Kirk. But when pressed to take action, Newsom dodged—prompting McMahon to threaten California’s school funding. Schools that allow boys in girls’ sports now risk losing federal cash, thanks to President Trump’s executive order.
The governor’s sudden shift looks like political gamesmanship. Newsom, eyeing a 2028 White House run, seems desperate to avoid being labeled radical. His own party blasted him for betraying LGBTQ allies, but conservatives aren’t buying it. Riley Gaines, who famously raced against transgender swimmer Lia Thomas, challenged Newsom to prove he’s serious by backing Trump’s policies.
Meanwhile, the feds are investigating California for hiding students’ gender transitions from parents. A state law lets schools keep kids’ gender identity secret, even from families. McMahon called this “immoral” and possibly illegal, warning that parents have rights. California’s classrooms shouldn’t push radical gender ideas behind parents’ backs, she argued.
Newsom’s team fired back with cheap shots about Trump shrinking the Education Department. But Americans see through the spin. Common sense says girls deserve fair competition and parents deserve the truth. The left’s obsession with gender ideology is unraveling, and even Democrats like Newsom know it. Trump’s policies protect women’s sports and family values—something most voters support.
California’s leaders would rather play politics than protect students. While Newsom talks about “fairness,” his inaction speaks louder. The Trump administration is standing strong for women and families, forcing weak politicians to choose sides. It’s time for states to put kids first, not woke agendas.
