Update With MPA

Posted on February 10, 2025 by dmartignetti

Matt Gagnon discusses the Maine Principals Association’s (MPA) decision to allow transgender female athletes to compete in high school sports, despite an executive order from President Trump that seeks to ban the practice. The MPA cites the Maine State Human Rights Act, which conflicts with Trump’s order, as their rationale. Gagnon criticizes the MPA’s stance, noting that 80% of polled respondents oppose transgender girls participating in women’s sports.
