It’s unclear how that will play out, though, because Trump is trying to eliminate the education department at the federal level. </p><p>"A spokesperson for the Maine Department of Education did not immediately respond Friday to questions about the investigation. A spokesperson for the Maine Attorney General’s Office declined to comment.</p><p>"Trump and his supporters have elevated transgender rights as the biggest battle in the country’s culture war and believe their messaging is a political winner, even beyond traditional party lines.</p><p>"In addition to his executive order barring transgender girls or women from competing in athletics, Trump signed another that says the federal government would only recognize two genders, male and female, a move some advocates said was designed to erase transgender individuals from existence.</p><p>"Many states, Maine included, have strong protections for transgender individuals."</p><p>Read more:<br><a href="https://www.pressherald.com/2025/03/28/trump-administration-targets-maine-again-this-time-on-transgender-policy-in-schools/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">pressherald.com/2025/03/28/tru</span><span class="invisible">mp-administration-targets-maine-again-this-time-on-transgender-policy-in-schools/</span></a></p><p>Archived version:<br><a href="https://archive.md/b6gpf" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">archive.md/b6gpf</span><span class="invisible"></span></a><br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MainePol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MainePol</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USPol" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>USPol</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/MaineResists" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>MaineResists</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ProtectTransYouth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ProtectTransYouth</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TrumpIsABully" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TrumpIsABully</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Education" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Education</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Authoritarianism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Authoritarianism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Fascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Fascism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/CharacteristicsOfFascism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CharacteristicsOfFascism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/TransRightsAreHumanRights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>TransRightsAreHumanRights</span></a></p>
