Former Minnesota Vikings captain and University of Minnesota football player Jack Brewer had to watch his family's state get sued by the U.S. 
Department of Justice for refusing to keep males out of girls' sports. 
The DOJ announced it is suing education agencies in Minnesota on Monday for its continued refusal to comply with President Donald Trump's mandate to keep biological male trans athletes out of girls' high school sports in the state. 
The DOJ alleged that the state’s Department of Education (MDE) and the Minnesota State High School League (MSHSL) are in violation of Title IX. 
Brewer, who has been a staunch and frequent critic of the state's Democrat leadership, said he is "sick." 
"And I’m sick and tired of it," Brewer told Fox News Digital. 
"The fact that you have billions of dollars coming from the federal government to fund these twisted ideologies... 
This is the reason why you have such an increase in transgenderism across the United States, because of states like Minnesota literally brainwashing children. 
"I’ve got former teammates and family members that have to deal with the realities of these public schools in Minneapolis, seeing the disrespect that comes out of these children, seeing children being sexualized and celebrating things about whether or not you want to be with a man or a woman, just completely sexualizing them." 
Brewer condemned the state for its commitment to protecting transgender athletes amid his concerns over educational resources made available to Minnesota's Black students. 
"If they really cared about equality, then they would actually go out and put funds into educating their most underserved people, educating their children of color, but they don’t do that," Brewer said. 
Brewer praised President Donald Trump and Attorney General Pam Bondi for their decision to sue the state's education agencies. 
"President Trump and Pam Bondi are right to take on this issue, and I applaud their continued leadership in protecting young women and girls  especially athletes  by defending the original intent of Title IX and the protections it was meant to guarantee. 
They should continue fighting to correct this. 
It’s common sense," he said. 
Minnesota has resisted making a change to its policies regarding transgender athletes. 
The state filed a preemptive lawsuit last year, saying the state’s human rights act supersedes President Donald Trump’s executive orders. 
The lawsuit said at the time that the state was already in compliance with Title IX. 
A ruling is pending on the federal government’s motion to dismiss the case. 
The federal government said in a statement on Monday that the state violates Title IX "by requiring girls to compete against boys in athletic competitions that are designated exclusively for girls and allowing boys to invade intimate spaces designated exclusively for girls, such as multi-person locker rooms and bathrooms." 
The Justice Department said the MDE’s funding, which is $3 billion annually from the U.S. 
Departments of Education and Health and Human Services, is contingent on its compliance with Title IX. 
The lawsuit asked federal court in Minnesota to declare that the state is in violation of Title IX. 
"The Minnesota Department of Education is reviewing the filing and remains committed to ensuring every child— regardless of background, zip code, or ability—has access to a world-class education and every opportunity to thrive as their authentic self in safe, supportive school communities," the department said.
