National parent group wants feds to probe YMCA over gender policy

(The Center Square) – The American Parents Coalition is calling for the federal government to investigate the Young Men’s Christian Association’s use of $600 million in annual federal funds “to support policies that endanger children, disregard potential rights, and violate federal law,” according to a Monday letter sent by the organization to Rep. Margorie Taylor Green, R-Ga, as initially reported by the Daily Signal.

Last month, APC sent a similar request to the Trump administration.

“Earlier this month, I filed a Title IX complaint with the Departments of Education, Health and Human Services, and Housing and Urban Development outlining how YMCA affiliates across the country are allowing biological males in girls’ locker rooms, bathrooms, and overnight cabins,” APC Executive Director Alleigh Marré said in Monday’s letter.

She went on to say, “The YMCA receives more than $600 million in federal grants annually and is therefore subject to Title IX, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex. Its policy recommendations and guidance, which disregard biological sex in the administration of intimate facilities, place girls in vulnerable situations and raise serious questions about compliance with federal law.”
