Maine School District Goes Against Gov. Mills, Joins Trump In Move Banning Transgender Athletes From Female Sports

Round of applause to this school district!

Located in Maine, which is currently in a heated battle with the federal government over transgender athletes, a school district has decided to comply with Title IX’s current federal definition and has banned biological males from being able to compete in female sports. Gov. Janet Mills and Maine officials are pushing to allow trans athletes into girls and women’s sports.

In a unanimous vote Monday night, the MSAD #70 School Board made the move to fall in line with Title IX, “recognizing only two sexes – biological male and biological female and that all private spaces be separated by biological sex.” (RELATED: Gov.

Speaking with Fox News Digital, MSAD #70 superintendent Tyler Putnam said that the result of the vote directs him to change the policies of the district to ban biological male athletes from participating in female sports.

“The motion directs me to rewrite our policies to adhere to the motion. It is my interpretation that the school board will be looking to approve policies that align biological sex to their specific athletic teams too i.e. biological males will be playing with only other biological males and same for biological females. These policies will need to be approved by the policy committee and the board once rewritten,” said Putnam.
