               WARNING CALIFORNIA'S POLITICAL LEADERSHIP

  (Mr. KILEY of California asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. KILEY of California. Mr. Speaker, for months, I have been warning 
California's political leadership that our State is in violation of 
Federal civil rights laws, with a policy that even Governor Newsom has 
admitted is fundamentally unfair. That policy is one that allows for 
biological males to compete in women's sports.
  Today, that warning proved well-founded as the Department of 
Education concluded its investigation, finding that California is in 
blatant violation of Title IX. As a result, our State could lose its 
Federal education funding.
  The good news is that we don't have to. The State can prevent any 
loss of funding simply by complying with the Department's very 
reasonable conditions: reverse this unfair policy; provide titles, 
honors, and awards to female athletes who are unjustly deprived; and 
issue those athletes an apology.

  This will simply restore fairness, common sense, and sanity in 
California. I am calling on California's political leaders to comply 
with these conditions immediately.
