The U.S. Department of Education Office for Civil Rights will investigate a discrimination claim after the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference allowed biological males to compete in girls’ athletic events.

Conservative legal organization Alliance Defending Freedom requested that the department open an investigation.

“The U.S. Department of Education Office for Civil Rights Wednesday granted the request of three teen track athletes to investigate their allegations of illegal discrimination,” an ADF news release stated, according to The Daily Wire.

“Ever since the Connecticut Interscholastic Athletic Conference [CIAC] adopted a policy that allows biological males who claim a female identity to compete in girls’ athletic events, boys have consistently deprived Selina Soule and two other female athletes of honors and opportunities to compete at elite levels,” the news release continued.

In an appearance on Fox News’ “Tucker Carlson Tonight” show, Soule explained to host Tucker Carlson that “I came eighth place and the top six qualify for the regional New England meet and if those two athletes weren’t competing then I would have been the sixth girl and I would’ve moved on and advanced.”
