“In order to continue to collect taxpayer money from the USDA, Maine must show compliance with Title IX, which protects female student-athletes from having to undress with or against or against or against or against or have to undress in front of men,” Rollins wrote in a letter to the state.
“In addition, the USDA has conducted a full review of the grants granted by the Bayden administration to the Maine Department of Education.

As a result, the Democratic majority in Maine has cost Maine students hundreds of millions of dollars in federal funding, starting with our USDA funding, rather than advocating Maine girls by complying with federal laws. I continue to stand firmly with Trump and President Trump for the pursuit of sane and fairness, and I beg Maine Democrats for this incredible harm and incredible student.
