While Maine continues to be a focal point of the debate on sports culture on transgender athletes in female sports, the superintendent of the state public schools, Ryan Scallon, said his article on the situation.
The Office of Civil Rights (OCR) of the Ministry of Health and Social Services (HHS) announced that it had found the Ministry of Education of Maine, the Association of Directors of Maine and the Lycée de Greely in violation of the title IX following a survey on trans-inclusion in the sports of girls.
“What HHS is asking for the Maine Ministry of Education, the Association of Maine Directors (MPA) and the Greely high school is simple – protect the rights of female athletes. Girls deserve sports reserved for girls without male competitors. And if Maine will not arrive at the table to be satisfied with the law on the law”

However, there was a decline in this conclusion, as well as the HHS warning that the State has 10 days to correct its policies by an agreement signed or risk of reference to the United States Ministry of Justice, of several Maine authorities, which now includes Scallon.
The Superintendent compared the current battle of transgender athletes to the problems of American civil rights during a recent declaration.
“In the history of our country, there have been many struggles for civil rights, in particular, but without limiting themselves, to the fighting for women’s rights to vote, to racial equality and to a gay marriage. In each of these fights, the opposition was motivated by fear in the attempts to ostracer of other people who look, act or believe in something different.
Maine responds to the declaration of Trump’s administrator’s administrator violated title IX by authorizing transgender people in girls sports
“Today, I see this reproducing with transgender or non -binary students, and in particular, our transgender athletes. When I came in this district, I focused on the education work of students to improve our results. I was not interested in speaking proactively on social issues or political questions. Our student population.
“In the light of this, I cannot continue to sit down silently.”
The Association of Maine Directors published an answer to PK Press Club Digital after the OCR announcement on Monday.

“The alleged violation is due to the AMP policy which is the direct result of the mandate of the acts of human rights of Maine that athletes are authorized to participate in the teams that align themselves on their gender identity. MPA policy is in accordance with the law of the state of Maine,” said the answer.
The Trump administration has expanded its investigation into title IX on Maine last week, invoking violations of the executive decree of President Donald Trump indicating that organic men are not allowed to compete in female sports in educational and sports institutions.
Trump’s executive decree 14201, better known as “keeping men outside of female sports”, was signed to “protect athlete students, in the women’s category, to have” competing with or against or having to appear without imprint before men “.” In turn, the executive decree also obliged each federal department to “examine subsidies in education programs and, if necessary, to cancel funding for programs that fail to compare with the policy established in this order and, if necessary, to cancel for programs that fail to behave with the policy established in this order.”
Maine’s Republican legislators called Governor Janet Mills, a Democrat, to comply with Trump’s decree with millions of federal funds for nursery schools in the 12th year threatened not to do so.

“If Maine Democrats continue to double to allow organic men to participate in the sports of girls, our students lose hundreds of millions of dollars in federal funding. Gov. [Janet] Mills and the legislative democrats have a renewed opportunity to do the right thing, to ensure restored funding and fair and fair playground for maine girls, “said state representative Laurel Libby, R – Auburn on Thursday.
Libby has become a leading figure in this Maine debate after publishing a VAULTER at La Perche du Lycée on social networks. The Vaulter Pole competed in June 2024 as a biological man and ended up winning a state championship as a woman.
The Democrats of the Legislative Assembly of the Maine State have censored Libby for the post, which showed that the athlete was in competition as a man, while alongside an image of the athlete winning the female pole lighting competition in the Maine B class B championship in February.
Trump called Maine shortly after Libby’s post began to arouse a debate. Trump had a public argument with Governor Mills in the White House, where he threatened state funding if Maine does not “clean this”. Mills replied that she would see Trump “in court”.
Mills, in congruence with the association of managers of Maine, argues that the executive order of Trump is in conflict with the current law of human rights of Maine. Consequently, the continuation of the decree would challenge the law of the State, which currently allows sports participation according to the declared gender identity of the person.
“No President – Republican or Democrat – can retain authorized federal funding and appropriate by the congress and paid by Maine taxpayers to try to compel someone to comply with their will,” MILLS said when the HHS initially announced its investigation. “It is a violation of our Constitution and our laws, which I took an oath to defend.”
