The New York City Department of Education, after spending $4 million on upgrading a Brooklyn athletic field, transferred control to Eagle Academy for Young Men II, which subsequently dismissed three girl soccer teams. This action is now being investigated for potential Title IX violations, highlighting concerns over gender discrimination. Girls from Medgar Evers, Wingate, and Prospect Heights high schools, previously using the field near their schools, now face challenges playing on distant locations, disrupting their education and activities. Coach Yakovlyuk claims the transfer was politicized and unfairly marginalized the girls' teams.
