Maine principals fight DOJ request for student names in transgender athlete case
The Maine Principals Association resists providing personally identifiable student data amid a federal lawsuit enforcing a transgender athlete ban under a sealed subpoena.
- A Maine principals' group is challenging a U.S. Department of Justice subpoena demanding all student names on athletic rosters amid a transgender athlete dispute.
- This legal conflict stems from the DOJ's April lawsuit against Maine for not enforcing an executive order banning transgender athletes from girls' sports teams.
- The subpoena seeks broad data, including personally identifiable information, prompting the association to ask a judge on September 4 to reject it due to overbroad scope.
- This month, the federal government argued in court filings that its request for student data is essential and appropriate for addressing the case involving boys participating on girls’ sports teams.
- The dispute highlights ongoing tensions after a February White House confrontation between Gov. Janet Mills and President Trump, with Maine officials maintaining refusal to comply with the transgender athlete ban.
