ADF Files Title IX Complaint for 2 Maine Girls Over Trans Athletes

3 articles · Updated · Fox News · Nov 2

Summary

  • Alliance Defending Freedom said Monday it would file a Title IX complaint with the U.S. Education Department for two Maine high school girls who say transgender athletes denied them equal opportunities.
  • The draft complaint targets the Maine Department of Education, Maine Principals’ Association, South Portland School Department and Windham Raymond School District, seeking an investigation, policy changes and remedies for past violations.
  • Morgan Clark cited a 1-1 October draw with South Portland, whose transgender player had 15 goals and 10 assists through Oct. 27, while Reagan Wilson described competing against male athletes in cross-country and soccer.
  • The filing lands amid a broader Maine fight: federal officials found the state out of Title IX compliance in March 2025, sued the next month, and activists now say they have submitted 4,836 more signatures for a 2027 ballot measure.
