EXCLUSIVE: Department of Education launches Title IX probe into Camas School District in Washington state over boys in girls’ sports, alleged harassment The department’s Office for Civil Rights will determine whether the District is in violation of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 and also examine whether district officials failed to respond appropriately after receiving complaints about the alleged harassment. In October 2026, concerned parents and members of the Camas High School girls’ cross-country team alleged that a male student was allowed to compete alongside female athletes. The male athlete also allegedly entered a hotel room shared by three female athletes and took an ice bath in their bathroom and sexually harassed female athletes while traveling for an invitational meet–actions that, according to the Dept. of Education, "raised grave concerns about the female athletes’ privacy and personal safety." Parents also reported that the District failed to respond appropriately to their concerns about the alleged sexual harassment. They further allege that the school’s independent investigator asked the girls if they were “transphobic” and if they “hate trans people.” According to Clark County Today, the allegations stemmed from the team’s October 9–10 trip to Arlington for a meet at Lakewood High School. The outlet reported complaints involving both the hotel-room incident and conduct on the team’s charter bus. It also reported that the district obtained an outside investigation through its risk-management cooperative. The investigation follows Washington voters’ approval of I-638, the initiative prohibiting male students from competing in school athletic activities designated for girls. On Tuesday, the ACLU of Washington, Legal Voice, and Pacifica Law Group filed a lawsuit on behalf of the Washington Education Association, TransFamilies, and parents, seeking to overturn I-638 and block its enforcement. The initiative is scheduled to take effect December 3. “The voters in Washington stood up for women and girls in their state – and the Trump Administration stands with them as we continue to fight for safe and fair athletic opportunities across the country,” said Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights Kimberly Richey. “Washingtonians sent a message: they are done with men in women's sports and want to keep young women safe. Camas School District should follow suit.” The investigation follows weeks of controversy surrounding a male Camas runner who began the season competing against boys before switching to girls’ races. He finished 76th in a boys’ junior-varsity race, but after switching divisions, finished second among 195 runners in a girls’ JV race, then won a girls’ varsity race, finishing ahead of 45 female runners. Female athletes protested his participation. Nearly half of Camas’s girls’ team walked away from the starting line on October 13. Two Skyview runners had staged a protest earlier in September. On October 21, a Battle Ground sophomore walked off alone in protest at the district championship, ending her postseason. The boy finished second in that race, placing the Skyview runners at third and fourth instead of second and third.

Arkansas keeps showing what is possible when families are in charge. Under Governor @SarahHuckabee and the LEARNS act, 50,000+ students use Education Freedom Accounts and Arkansas has opted into the Education Freedom Tax Credit. That’s what returning education to the states means.

I got the honor to visit Pearl Harbor and spread rose petals at the site of the USS Arizona with Admiral Samuel Paparo, Commander of the U.S. Pacific Command. A TOPGUN graduate and decorated naval aviator with more than 6,000 flight hours, @AdmSamPaparo now leads U.S. Forces across the Indo-Pacific. Hearing the stories of his service and sacrifice made the visit to Pearl Harbor all that much more impactful - a reminder of how many have, and continue to, put their lives on the line to protect our freedoms. It is because of extraordinary service members like him that America remains the greatest nation on Earth. 🇺🇸

Last week, I had the honor of visiting the Pearl Harbor National Memorial in Hawaii. Standing at the historic site that galvanized a generation to defend our country was a sobering reminder of what service actually costs. Thank you to every veteran who has answered the call.

Happy Veterans Day! Today, we honor and thank the brave men and women who have served our nation with courage, dedication, and sacrifice. Veterans Day is also an opportunity to teach the next generation about the significance of these sacrifices. Let’s remind our children and grandchildren that the freedoms we enjoy were secured and protected by those willing to serve something greater than themselves. Thank you to all veterans for your service and sacrifice. 🇺🇸

Thank you, @EDSecMcMahon, for returning education to Nebraska! This waiver gives Nebraska greater flexibility to align federal education resources with what works best for our students, teachers, and schools.

Oklahoma and Nebraska now have the freedom to break down federal funding silos and align resources with the priorities of their students, families, and communities through the Returning Education to the States Waiver!

Oklahoma and Nebraska are the latest states cutting red tape through our Returning Education to the States Waiver! Now, across 10 states more than $164 MILLION in federal funding can be better utilized to serve students and families. 🇺🇸 Link: Link:

Congratulations to @StephenM! We’ve been in this fight together for a long time, and I look forward to continuing our work to Make America Great Again! 🇺🇸 A legacy of distinguished service as our nation’s first female White House Chief of Staff. Thank you, @SusieWiles47, for your extraordinary leadership!
