Another school district of Maine holds the Democratic Governor Janet Mills in the undergoing struggle against transgender athletes in female sports.
The Maine was at the epicenter of the controversy after President Trump signed a decree aimed at “keeping men outside female sports”. He came after years of controversy involving athletes such as Blaire Fleming and Lia Thomas.
In February, Mulls had an appointment now infamous with the president at a meeting of the White House, when she said to Trump “ to see in court ” of her threat of withdrawing federal funding if the Maine did not comply with his ban.
The quarrel continued, the Maine being currently prosecuted by the Ministry of Justice for its refusal to prohibit transgender athletes.
But Tuesday, the board of directors of the school unit of the Maine region voted to abandon a policy that declares: “Students will be able to participate in accordance with the assertive gender identity in school.”
“ During his meeting last night, after a respectful deliberation, the board of directors of the RSU n ° 24 voted on 7-1 (an administrator was absent) to cancel the JB policy – transgender students and between the sexes ”, told the superintendent Michael Eastman to Fox News.

“This change will take place immediately. We appreciate the participation rate last night and thank the residents who approached the board of directors with their reflections concerning the policy.
RSU No 24 supervises five public schools in the county of Hancock, an area that supported Trump in the presidential election last year.
Last month, the MSAD N ° 70 school board voted last month to comply with title IX, “recognizing only two sexes – organic and biological women – and that all private spaces are separated by biological sex”.
Consequently, school officials said that transgender athletes are now prevented from participating in the sports of girls.
Mills and the heads of state faced demonstrations concerning their commitment to allow transgender athletes to compete with girls and share their locker rooms.
The problem made the headlines again last week after a Transgender athlete has dominated their rivals during a track meeting.
