The Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights is investigating the Maine Department of Education and a Maine school district for Title IX violations.
“Maine would have you believe that it has no choice in how it treats women and girls in athletics — that is, that it must follow its state laws and allow male athletes to compete against women and girls,” acting assistant secretary for civil rights Craig Trainor said in a statement.
“Let me be clear: If Maine wants to continue to receive federal funds from the Education Department, it has to follow Title IX,” he added. “If it wants to forgo federal funds and continue to trample the rights of its young female athletes, that, too, is its choice. OCR will do everything in its power to ensure taxpayers are not funding blatant civil rights violators.”

YAY!!!
Maine didnt vote for this crap.
Maine has RCV for a reason.
Maine, secure your elections.
Repeal RCV.
Your Deep State pols will be the end of you and your state.
I listened to the exchange - it was interesting. Would not classify it as earth shattering - states like Maine, etc will still continue to allow and require this policy to the detriment of girls.
Acknowledging ‘pain and frustration,’ Mills defends proposed cuts and tax hikes in budget
Per the above...
...Maine is facing a projected $450 million deficit over the next two years, as well as a short-term funding gap of $118 million during the current fiscal year...
That bxtch got a good talking to yesterday which was well deserved.
She is STUPID AND FUGLY!
states like Maine, etc will still continue to allow and require this policy to the detriment of girls.
Hopefully without federal funding.
Be very interested to see how ME gets by without the $250-odd millions they now receive. For such a small population that’s a chunk of change to lose.
I lived there for a short time & it seemed to be a very backwards state. Little economic opportunity.
Be honest...who here ever imagined they would commend a statement from “The Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights”...? ;)
I feel bad for her earrings, they didn’t deserve that fate.
Looks like she just came in from the Maine woods.
President Trump’s calling out the Governor of Maine was a shot across the bow of all the other state Governors. There is a new sheriff in town and he is there to clean up the mess the “woke virus” has left behind.
Oh dear. Okay, I see why Janet is so supportive of men pretending to be women. She kind of looks like Roddy McDowell.
If states like Maine or California get no federal funds cause the feds are investigating them for title 9 violations, pretty soon, woke governors in obstinate states will be calling for the abolition of the dept. Of edukayshun , too.
FYI..California get about 170 BILLION dollars in Federal funds per year. No feds funds...they go bankrupt.
Double plus GUILTY!
That is a guy!!!
What do you have against Roddy McDowell ? ;)
Re: 8 - my guess is first they go to court.
Don’t they have great seafood and lobsters?
