The Office of Civil Rights at the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services referred the State of Maine to the U.S. Department of Justice on Friday — one day after the Maine Principals’ Association (MPA) and Cumberland’s Greeley High School announced they refused to sign a voluntary resolution agreement the federal agency proposed after finding Maine schools to be in violation of Title IX protections earlier last month.
On March 17, HHS’ civil rights bureau found that Maine had violated the protections girls in school sports should be afforded against discrimination, which the participation of biological boys, or trans-identifying athletes, constituted, the agency then found. Following this determination, it proposed a path for Maine to resolve the breach, which the MPA has elected to ignore.
“Governor Mills and the Democrat majority refusal to comply with federal Title IX protections has now resulted in Maine being officially referred to the Department of Justice. This is a direct consequence of their radical policies that put ideology ahead of fairness and safety for Maine girls and the education of our students,” State Rep. Laurel Libby (R-Auburn) told Fox News Digital on Saturday.
Rep. Libby’s posting a photograph of a biologically male Greely High School student winning first place in a female pole-vaulting competition in February helped trigger not only a national debate on this issue — including a showdown between U.S. President Donald Trump and Maine Governor Janet Mills — but also her being censured by Maine’s Democrat-controlled legislature in a move that has sparked national criticism of those seeking to silence her.

While the Justice Department cannot prosecute a state, it could either prosecute individuals or, more likely file a civil suit and get injunctions against individuals, attorneys familiar with federal-state legal dynamics say.
HHS is just one federal agency to have ruled that Maine has violated Title IX by refusing to comply with President Donald Trump’s executive order barring biological males from female school sports. The Office of Civil Rights within the U.S. Department of Education reached a similar determination this month.
Maine’s schools also came under investigation from the DOE last week for another violation related to transgender ideology’s impact on minors.

The DOE announced the investigation on Friday, alleging that schools across the state may be violating the federal Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act (FERPA) that ensures parents access to their children’s school records. The DOE accused Maine schools of intentionally refusing to give parents information about their children’s desire to transition to appear and present themselves as the opposite sex.
Good News !
Put the living screws to these A holes …..they deserve everything they get .
Charge every single one of them if you possibly can .
People who think boys should be able to beat girls get ZERO respect from me .
Bring in the big guns and put these democrat tyrants in their place .
Democrats have no place in the land of liberty and JUSTICE for all .
bring on the fbi raid!! LFG !! middle of the night raid with massive federal response!! perp walk!!
Raise the flag, here comes the cavalry! Shame on the Maine Marxist government fraudsters. This corruption is only the tip of the rot in the tyranny of a one party group of ideological zealots. The national spotlight looking for corruption is on you Janet and we can’t wait for Homan, Bondi, Patel, Bongino and the rest of the cavalry to sort this out for all of New England.
Great picture of mills and her boozer nose.
Arrest them . Drag them into court . Throw the book at them . Bring the full force of the law down on their heads .
Mills and Bellows, Dumb and Dumber! Fighting against the Majority (80% of the Nation) of people that clearly say that boys do not belong in girls sports. This is too simple for Dumb and Dumber to figure out? They would rather try pushing a rope uphill with their nose!
Anything that the President Trump does they are going to do the opposite just for spite! If Trump Administration solved all the wars in the world, found a cure for cancer and solved homelessness for all legal American Citizens. All good things, they would fight against every single one, because it is Donald Trump. Absolutely Childish behavior!
These people have no right to be in political office and need to be removed!
…. and when DOGE is done with this, we know what direction crap flows… all the underlings should be DOGED and then…. jump into the DHS and their corruption with the courts… and then….
Some say,
Beauty is only skin deep at times.
One thing for certain, ugliness of that thing,( looks like it has been run through the mill alright)
Certain shows on the outside, and more certainly way beyond skin deep, to the heart n soul.
The evilness, and wickedness, ungodliness, will certainly be judged one day. Jesus is Lord.
Ugggg,
One thing for sure.
If they ever have a most ugliest governor ever there was.
That’s one thing mills would be a winner at, no doubt!
Mills looks exhausted after so many stupidities. Maine wake-up and get rid of them all.
Every member of the Education Establishment involved, including the School Board members, must be required to submit their certificates showing that they have been professionally certified as a children’s gender transition counselor.
Perhaps UMaine could undertake a training regimen that runs 6 months or more.
