Maine School District Aligns with Trump's Stance on Trans Athletes
April 15, 2025A Maine school district has voted to ban transgender athletes from girls’ sports, aligning with President Trump’s executive order.
In a unanimous decision, the MSAD #70 School Board in Hodgdon, Maine, voted to adhere to the current federal definition of Title IX, which recognizes only biological males and females for sports participation. This decision directly impacts transgender athletes, preventing them from competing in girls’ sports within the district. Superintendent Tyler Putnam has been directed to revise the district’s policies to reflect this stance, emphasizing separation based on biological sex in all private spaces and athletic teams.
