The University of Pennsylvania's decision to ban transgender female athletes from competing in women's sports to resolve a civil rights complaint by the Department of Education is being slammed by LGBTQ activists and legal experts as unconstitutional.

The University of Pennsylvania and the federal government have reached an agreement that the Ivy League school will adhere to the Trump administration's ban on transgender athletes competing in women's sports.

The University of Pennsylvania will block transgender athletes from female sports teams and erase the records set by swimmer Lia Thomas as part of an agreement with the federal government, the U.S. Department of Education said.
