DOE Begins Process of Terminating Maine’s Federal K-12 Funding as State Allows Trans Athletes on Female Teams

President Donald Trump’s Department of Education (DOE) on Friday announced that it has begun the process of cutting federal K-12 funding to Maine, as the Democrat-run state continues to allow transgender-identifying males on female sports teams.

DOE is also referring its Title IX investigation of the state to the Department of Justice (DOJ) for “further enforcement action,” the department said. DOE said its actions are a “direct result” of the Maine Department of Education’s (MDOE) continued refusal to comply with Title IX, which prohibits discrimination based on sex in education programs and activities receiving federal funding.

“The Department has given Maine every opportunity to come into compliance with Title IX, but the state’s leaders have stubbornly refused to do so, choosing instead to prioritize an extremist ideological agenda over their students’ safety, privacy, and dignity,” said Acting Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights Craig Trainor.

“The Maine Department of Education will now have to defend its discriminatory practices before a Department administrative law judge and in a federal court against the Justice Department,” Trainor continued. “Governor Mills would have done well to adhere to the wisdom embedded in the old idiom — be careful what you wish for. Now she will see the Trump Administration in court.”

The law is clear.  Any federal agency that provides financial assistance to any entity is not only empowered, but required by law to enforce all non-discrimination mandates of the Title IX statute.
