DOE Begins Process of Terminating Maine's Federal K-12 Funding |
2025-04-14 |
[BREITBART] President Donald Trump![]() 's Department of Education (DOE) on Friday announced that it has begun the process of cutting federal K-12 funding to Maine, as the Democrat-run state continues to allow transgender-identifying males on female sports teams. DOE is also referring its Title IX investigation of the state to the Department of Justice (DOJ) for ''further enforcement action,'' the department said. DOE said its actions are a ''direct result'' of the Maine Department of Education's (MDOE) continued refusal to comply with Title IX, which prohibits discrimination based on sex in education programs and activities receiving federal funding. Federal Judge Orders USDA to Unfreeze Funding to Maine as Trans Athletes Dispute Continues A federal judge on Friday ordered President Donald Trump ![]() ’s U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) to unfreeze federal funding to Maine, as the administration continues to battle the Democrat-run state over transgender athletes. District Court Judge John Woodcock issued a temporary restraining order in the case brought by Maine against the USDA, although he noted his order does not weigh in on the larger dispute surrounding Maine allowing trans-identifying males on female sports teams and in female spaces, News Agency that Dare Not be Named reported. USDA Secretary Brooke Rollins announced on April 2 that the agency had begun freezing federal funds to Maine because of Democrat Gov. Janet Mills’ refusal to bar transgender-identifying boys from competing in girls’ sports. The USDA said it paused distribution of funds after sending multiple requests to Mills urging her to comply with President Donald Trump’s executive order and Title IX, which prohibits discrimination based on sex in education programs and activities receiving federal funding.
