Officials in a school district in Maine announced on Thursday that the district will not comply with a proposed agreement with President Donald Trump’s administration that would prevent transking athletes from participating in girls sports.

Maine School Administrative District 51, home to Greely High School, where a transgender athlete built national controvers after winning a girls Pole Vault Competition in February, said it will not comply, and instead will “continue to follow the State Act and Maine Human Rights ACT.”

“To our students: Thank you for your maturity, perseverance and dedication to learning through these distractions. Continue to go ahead,” the district said in a statement.

Maine Principals’ Association said in a statement that it is also “bound by the law, including Maine Human Rights Act, which our participation policy reflects.”

The institutions have chosen to defy Trump’s order despite the recent data suggesting that most of the Maine residents are against transient athletes in girls sports.

A study from American Parents Coalition found that out of about 600 registered Maine voters, 63% said school sports participation should be based on biological sex, and 66% agreed that it is “only fair to limit women’s sports to biological women.”

The survey also found that 60% of residents would support a ballot limiting participation in Women and Girls Sport to Biological Women. This included 64% of the independent and 66% of parents with children under the age of 18.

The situation involving a trans athlete at Greely High School attracted national attention after Maine Republican State Rep. Laurel Libby identified the athlete by name with a photograph in a social media post in February.

Police protection was later awarded the school over security concerns.

The Maine legislation then censored Libby for the position, and she has since brought a lawsuit that seeks to get censored overturned.

A feud between Trump and Maine government Janet Mills began February 20 during a GOP meeting with governors as Trump threatened to cut federal funding to the state so as not to ban trans athletes from girls and women’s sports.

The next day, Mills’ office responded with a statement that threatened lawsuits against the Trump administration if it detained federal funding from the state. Then, Trump and Mills sparred verbally in a broadly published argument in the White House during a top species meeting with governors.

“Don’t you want to comply with it?” Trump asked Mills.

Since then, several protests against Mills have been held outside the state capital, and the Maine University system has cooperated with the Trump administration to ensure that no trans athletes compete in women’s sports after a temporary financing break.

Last week, US Health and Human Services ‘Office of Civil Rights (OCR) announced that it found the Maine Department of Education, Maine Principals’ Association and Greely High School in violation of Title IX to continue activating Trans -Including in Girl Sports.

The message warned that the state had 10 days to correct its policies through a signed agreement or risk reference to the US Ministry of Justice for appropriate action. This deadline went Thursday.

OCR acting director Anthony Archeval previously made a statement to Pakinomist Digital Warning of potential consequences for continued troops over the executive order.

“What HHS is asking for Maine Department of Education, Maine Principals ‘Association (MPA) and Greely High School are simple-protecting female athletes’ rights. Girls deserve girls who are only sports without male competitors. And if Maine does not come to the table to voluntarily comply with title IX, HHS will be enforced IX to the full extent, which is permitted by law,” said. ” Archeval.
