Maine Schools Won't Bar Transgender Athletes From Girls' Sports
3 days ago
School officials in Maine say they will not comply with a proposed agreement from President Donald Trump’s administration that would bar transgender athletes from participating in girls’ sports. The U.S. Health and Human Services said earlier this month that the Maine Department of Education, Maine Principals’ Association and a high school are each in violation of Title IX because of the participation of transgender athletes. The federal investigation came after a public spat between Trump and Democratic Maine Gov. Janet Mills about the subject. The principals association and the school district both said Thursday they will not comply.
