AG Bondi Announces a Civil Lawsuit Against the Maine Department of Education Over Their Refusal to Protect Women and Girls in Sports

EXCERPT:

BONDI: “Today, the Department of Justice is announcing a civil lawsuit against the Maine Department of Education. The state of Maine is discriminating against women by failing to protect women in women's sports. Pretty basic stuff. This is a violation of Title IX. The Department of Justice will not sit by when women are discriminated against in sports. This is about sports. This is also about these young women's personal safety. I've met many of these women throughout the past weeks and months, and what they have been through is horrific. We have exhausted every other remedy. We tried to get Maine to comply. We don't like standing up here and filing lawsuits, we want to get states to comply with us. That's what this is about.”
