Friday is the official deadline for Maine to comply with the executive decree of President Donald Trump “away from female sports” or risks a second referral to the Ministry of Justice.
The Main Maine Association (MPA) and the Maine Ministry of Education have already been referred to the Ministry of Justice (DoJ) by the United States Ministry of Health and Social Services, and face a second potential reference by the American Department of Education. The state has also seen a freeze on the financing of the USDA for its continuous non-compliance.
The MPA and its president, Kim Liscomb, have been the subject of a local exam in recent weeks for having omitted to modify its policies on the inclusion of trans athletes in public schools, because a resident, Nick Blanchard, launched a petition for Liscomb to be deleted from her post as director of Cony Middle and High School.

The MPA has published a statement on this examination and the association’s refusal to modify its eligibility policy between the sexes, which suggests that it could change policy if legislation is implemented.
“For the last year, Kim Liscomb, president of the board of directors of the Association of Managers of Maine, has faithfully performed her organization’s management functions. Recently, there has been local attention focused on her, which could be linked to the law of the law of the managers of Maine.
“In her role as president of the MPA, Kim has shown leadership, compassion and commitment to guide the AMP with her vast experience in education. When she ends her one -year term as president this summer, we will miss.”
Maine residents agree to keep trans athletes outside the sports of girls and women, polls show
The MPA previously discussed its first reference to the Doj, quoting Maine Human Rights Act (MHRA), which was modified four years ago to add gender identity as a protected class, for its reluctance continues to prohibit the trans sports athletes.
“The association of managers of Maine is linked by law, including the Maine Human Rights Act (MHRA), which our participation policy reflects,” said officials. “We are unable to sign a resolution agreement that would force to create a new policy that would violate the law and the MHRA.”
The amendment of gender identity at MHRA said that refusing a person an equal opportunity to participate in sports is discrimination against education. The Association of Maine Directors has updated its policy to allow athletes to compete with the sex they identify as last year.
A New Hampshire University Survey published last week have shown that most Maine residents agree that transgender athletes should not compete in the sports of girls and women.
The survey has shown that 64% of Maine residents think that transgender athletes “certainly should not” or “should probably not” participate in the sports of girls and women. Only 29% of Maine residents thought that transgender athletes “should probably” or “should certainly” compete with girls and women in sport.
The survey also showed that 56% of Democrats of Maine Believe that transgender athletes should be allowed to participate in the sports of girls and women.
Regarding the promulgation of policies to fight against the question of the participation of transgender in sports, the survey showed that 50% of the residents of Maine wanted it at the federal level, while 41% think that politics should be left in the United States.
