A Maine school district and the state's Department of Education are accused of defying President Donald Trump's executive order to protect women's sports by continuing to allow boys who identify as female to compete in girls' interscholastic athletics.

The U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights announced Friday that it sent a letter to Maine Department of Education Commissioner Pender Makin announcingthe Title IX investigation into the state agency.

In the letter, the federal education department informed MDOE that allowing males to compete in girls' sports is considered a violation of federal antidiscrimination law. The letter highlighted Maine School Administrative District #51 as another subject of investigation following reports that Greely High School continues to let a male student compete as a girl.

Just think what the next administration will do, the current actions are setting a terrifying precdent. It seems like the prez can do whatever he wants. So what if the next prez doesn't believe in the same stuff as you?

I can imagine the exact opposite happening.

This is based on a game I remember playing in school. The teacher wanted to teach us what discrimination was, so one group being half the class would impose rules on the other half. Later, the other half was given the same privilege .. those who were imposed upon were even more careful with their impositions when they got the power.

Cause and effect is a good reason to follow the golden rule when implementing policies. Though for Christians, a good reason is not required.

So say the Democrats win the next election, following the pattern of the current president they make it illegal to teach the biblical message.

Just saying, because what one president does, the next one does it also.

So, the democratic agenda so to speak is against biblical values? Do I understand correctly?

I think their agenda is to live however they want without being harassed. However, with someone like prez pushing them, they might become tyrants yet.

In context of this thread, I meant the idea of male and female being the only genders being an outlawed idea.

This is most likely what will happen next time, since this is how the pattern seems to follow.

I agree no one should be harassed. And thank you for clarifying.

The infringement of women's rights, privacy, peace of mind, and safety is what has been infringed upon by this fairly new trans/multiple/gender nonsense agenda. And it needs to be stopped.

Just a smokescreen for money laundering.

Meanwhile, grocery prices continue to go up. How's that working out for you?
And? Shouldn’t girls be allowed to play sports with only girls and not males?

Trump can focus on many issues at once, you know?

I agree. Hopefully Trump puts at end to it once and for all!

It's a nothingburger. The number of trans women that are seeking to play in women's sports you can probably count on one hand, out of all the millions of girls playing sports.

Politicians like Trump and Vance cynically use this issue, which has become emotionally highly charged, to divide people and distract us from deteriorating material circumstances, like higher food prices or more expensive goods and services.

Trans “women” are actually men and have no business being in women’s sports or using the ladies restroom.

No, I will not call a man a “she” because he identifies as such.

I choose to live in reality.
