A lot of Maine is red. Could very well be it flips if bad policies are continued.

While I am against trans competing againt girls I think it should be left up to the state.
I have found theres only two ways to go:
Living fast or dying slow.
I dont want to live forever.
But I will live while I'm here.

Not in disagreement. I am surprised that Maine is continuing the policy, EO or not. Suspect that move could backfire.

Maine reaps what they sow.

Don't feel the least bit sorry for the women there. They get what they vote for.

I'd like to see Maine used as a test case for what a shut-off of federal funds can do to a state's economy.

Concur

That said, if my state allowed some guy to spike volleyballs at my daughter, I'd be pissed. But agree it should be a state issue.

It is absolutely a states rights issue. That being said, it is within the rights of the federal government to use whatever legal means necessary to persuade the state to move in the desired direction.

In 84, the National Minimum Drinking Age Act cut federal highway spending by 10% in states that didn't move the drinking age to 21.

I'm sure there are hundreds of other examples. What I'm not sure about is what was done strictly at the will of the executive branch. The Minimum Drinking Age Act started in congress and was signed by Reagan.

While I'm against the entire chicks with dicks movement, I'd rather see Trump just kill the Dept of Ed and get the feds completely out of managing school districts that should be run at the local level. That includes school-sponsored athletics. Of course, a Democrat president will probably just re-institute leftwing meddling in education, so maybe what's good for the goose is good for the gander.

But this is about high school students. And they can't vote. Trump's EO is all the protection they have. Cut their funds.

Their parents can vote. And they should step up and deal with this.

There's no legitimate reason for something as simple as women competing against women and not men to be an issue at all. However, if we are going to have idiots who think it is somehow acceptable for males to compete in female sports, then it should be a federal issue.
