President Donald Trump on Friday threatened to snatch his federal funding mains, if she refuses to comply with its executive order, which prevents transgender women from competing in women’s game, then the culture wars of the nation It marks the latest front of the White House.
In a stressful exchange with the President, the Main Democratic village. Janet Mills had a simple response: “See you in court.”
The tasty encounter took place in a bipartisan program as part of the Winter Summit of the National Governors Association.
This is Trump’s latest chapter of states’ reaction to Trump’s efforts to ban transgender women from competing in women’s game, fulfilling the promise of a central Trump 2024 campaign. Two transgender girls participating in a high school in New Hampshire are suit to challenge the executive order.
Mill’s comment supported and praised some, author Stephen King wrote that the Governor “proud to be a main man” in a post on X.
Here we know about the dispute.
The controversy stems from Trump’s executive order, “keeping men out of women’s game,” one of dozens signed in the office within its first weeks.
“With this executive order, the war on women’s game is over,” the President said that when he signed the order.
The order bends at compliance with the title IX, which prevents discrimination based on sex in education programs or activities that receive money from the federal government, as well as federal engagement with the private sector.
Under the administration of former President who Biden, schools were considered to violate the title IX when they banned transgender students from participating in sports teams.
The Trump administration has taken the opposite approach: An official of the White House said earlier that the title IX is the status of the Trump administration, “If you are going for women’s games, if you are going to provide opportunities for women.” , So they have, so they have. Equally safe, equally fair, and equally private opportunities, and this means that you are going to preserve women’s game for women. ,
The move to ban transgender women from competing in women’s game is one of the executive orders that targets transgender people. He has also signed orders, restricting gender-suit care for children and preventing the list of transgender people in the army. The Department of Health and Human Services has also released new definitions of words like “sex,” “women,” women, “girls” and “men”, which is “unchanged biological of a person as” male or female. Define as classification.
The NCAA changed its policy in view of the executive order, announcing that it assigned the participation in women’s sports to the woman at birth – effectively banning transgender and intersex athletes. Under the previous Sport-by-Sport policy of NCAA in 2022, the national governing body of each game determined the participation of transgender athletes.
Although transgender women athletes have become a source of dispute, the number of transgender students athletes is considered very small. NCAA President Charlie Baker said that last year he was aware of only 10 transgender athletes in NCAA.
Despite the order, the officials of the main officials, including the Governor, the Department of Education and the Statewide sports governing bodies, have said that the state has the obligation to provide equal opportunities to all students including transgender students under the Main Human Rights Act. The law was revised in 2021 to include gender identity as a protected class against employment, housing, education, expansion of loan or access to public housing.
Commenting at a Republican Governors Association Dinner on Thursday night, Trump told Main, “We are not going to give them any federal funding, unless they clean it.”
Mills responded in a statement on Friday. “If the President unilaterally tries to deprive the main school children from the benefit of federal funding, then my administration and the Attorney General will take all the appropriate and necessary legal action to restore the money that provides it. ,” He said. “The main state will not be afraid of the President’s threats.”
Then, in a Friday incident At the White House, the President once again called Mills.
“I understand Main, Men’s Governor is the main here?” Trump said that while addressing Republican and Democratic Governors in the state dining room.
“Yes, I’m here,” Mills said.
“Are you not going to follow it?” Trump said.
“I am following the state and federal laws,” Mills said.
“Well, we are federal laws,” said Trump. “You do it better because you are not going to get any federal money if you don’t.”
Trump said: “And by the way, your population, even though it’s something generous, although I did very well there, your population does not want men to play in men’s game. so … You comply better, because otherwise you are not getting any federal money. ,
Mills replied: “See you in court.”
“Well, I will see you in court, I look forward to it,” said Trump. “It should be a real easy, and enjoy your life after the governor, because I don’t think you will be in elected politics.”
After the exchange, the Civil Rights Division of the Education Department announced an IX investigation in the education department of the main, this transgender is violating the ban on women athletes.
The department has “mentioned allegations that (Chief Education Department) allows male athletes to compete in girls’ intersection athletics and it has denied female athletes to female athletes, which violates the Federal Contraction Act It happens, “According to a news release, according to a news release from the Federal Education Department.
In response, Mills argued that stopping federal money would be unconstitutional, and the President implicated the controversy in the form of a major conflict on the boundaries of the Authority – which Trump has pushed into the first weeks of his second term.
The governor wrote in a statement, “No President – Republican or Democrat – can stop the authorized and approved federal funding by the Congress and can be paid by the main taxpayers in an attempt to force someone to comply with their wishes. . ” “This is a violation of our constitution and our laws, which I took an oath to maintain.”
“It’s not just about who can compete on who can compete on the athletic sector, whether a president can force to comply with his will, regardless of the rule of law that controls our nation Does, “The statement continues.
Mills wrote, “In America, the President is neither a king nor a dictator, as it tries to do a task – and it is a law of law that prevents him from happening,” Mills wrote.
In addition to the investigation of the Main Education Department, the Federal Education Department also announced that it would investigate a specific main school district after the report that a school “is allowing at least one male student to compete in girls’ categories. Is.”
The superintendent of the school district, “National Media Press and our high school students paid attention to one of the athletes, who is a transgender, winning the title of a state competition” and in a statement on Friday “for all our students. Expressed “unwavering support”. He said that there would be “additional police attendance and security” in the school on Monday, as “concerns about general security were raised.”
