“It was not surprising to see the Governor of Maine going to the mat to keep men in women’s sports when more than 50 school districts have written in Maine policy to mislead parents about their own child,” PDE spokesperson Erika Sanzi told Fox News Digital Friday.
‘We have seen a Groundswell from parents in Maine About this now that they are aware of this, and it is our hope that districts will start rolling this policy back, not only because of the executive orders of the Trump administration, but because almost 80% of their voters resist, “she said.
In an example from the largest district of the state, Portland Public Schools, district policy on “transgender and gender -expansive students” that requires If “a student and their parent or legal guardian do not agree with regard to the gender identity or gender expression of the student, the school will adhere to the wishes of the student with regard to their gender identity and gender expression while they are at school.
“School staff will comply with the wishes of the student with regard to the disclosure of their transgender status to others, but not limited to parents or guardians, students, volunteers or other school staff, unless the student has explicitly authorized the disclosure or unless legally obliged to do this.”

Trump has already threatened to cut the federal financing of Maine if it continues to defy his orders.
“I heard men still play in Maine,” Trump told To a meeting of Republican governors in Washington last week.
“I hate to tell you this, but we are not going to give them federal money. They still say:” We want men to play in the sport of women “, and I cannot believe they do that. … So we will not give them federal financing, not any, until they clean it up.”
