In the wake of the murderous mass shooting last week by a mentally ill trans cultist who targeted children at a Catholic school in Minneapolis, I was reminded of just how deeply entrenched trans madness is in Commissioner Pender Makin’s terminally woke Maine Department of Education, not to mention the celebration of insanity that occurs almost daily in Maine’s lying, dying, Soros-funded lamestream media outlets.
Who can plausibly deny that Transgender Supremacy is now the state religion in newsrooms and faculty lounges across Maine? Even when a 16-year-old male student (posing as a female) savagely assaulted a much smaller female student last October at Mount Desert Island High School in Bar Harbor, leftist media outlets gave the story a good leaving alone.
The trans atrocity got ZERO coverage by the Fake News industry.
Can you imagine how intense the coverage would have been if the roles were reversed? Had the captain of the varsity football team beaten the daylights out of a much smaller gender-dysphoric male student, the story and the video of the beating would have blown up the internet.
Were it not for Steve Robinson’s reporting at The Maine Wire, the trans savagery at MDI would have been shoved down the George Orwell memory hole.
Read all about it here:
The good news is that the vast majority of Maine’s 200+ school districts have chosen NOT to adopt the radical transgender policy being pushed on them by the Maine Department of Education. More and more of the districts that adopted the policy under pressure from the Maine School Board Association and the Portland-based Drummond Woodsum law firm are having second thoughts.
As you may have heard, following the recall campaign three years ago in the Oxford Hills school district, school boards around the state have begun just saying “NO!” to normalizing and celebrating the madness of transgender ideology.
Maine First Project’s grassroots army of peaceful, patriotic activists spearheaded the campaign that booted two members of the Oxford Hills board who voted for an insanely open-door policy that allowed mentally ill male students to relieve themselves in the girls’ restroom, compete on girls’ athletic teams, and shower with the cheerleaders.
Since that electoral victory — the first of its kind in Maine — the momentum has shifted in our favor, but this is still a David vs. Goliath battle.
Check out the legal opinion and guidance for Maine school districts that Maine First Project commissioned from our legal counsel, John E. Baldacci, Jr.
Feel free to share it with parents, taxpayers, and school board members within your circle of influence.
