Trump Admin Sues Maine Over Transgender Athletes

CBS News reports:

Attorney General Pam Bondi announced Wednesday that the Justice Department is filing a civil lawsuit against Maine’s Department of Education for “discriminating against women by failing to protect women in women’s sports” in what she alleged is a violation of Title IX.

“The Department of Justice will not sit by when women are discriminated against in sports,” Bondi said. “This is about sports, this is also about these young womens’ personal safety.”

Education Secretary Linda McMahon, who appeared alongside Bondi on Wednesday, said “I hope Gov. Mills will recognize that her political feud with the president will deprive the students in her state of much more than the right to fair sporting events.”
