The Department of Education (ED) announced Wednesday it has found the Maine Department of Education in violation of civil rights laws for continuing to allow men to compete in women’s sports.
Ed opened an investigation into the state in February after a public spat between President Donald Trump and Democratic Maine Gov. Janet Mills during which the governor declined to comply with Trump’s ban on men in women’s sports. The investigation concluded the state “has policies and practices that are in violation of Title IX,” according to a press release.
“The outcome of OCR’s investigation of MDOE confirms that it has violated federal antidiscrimination law by allowing boys to compete in girls’ sports and boys to occupy girls’ intimate facilities,” Craig Trainor, acting assistant secretary for Civil Rights at the department said in a statement. “Today’s findings and proposed resolution agreement demonstrate to MDOE and any other entity receiving federal funding that the Trump Administration will not tolerate unlawful discrimination against girls and women. If Maine does not swiftly and completely come into compliance with Title IX, we will initiate the process to limit MDOE’s access to federal funding.”
