Trump Administration Relents in Dispute Over Trans Athlete Funding for Maine Schools

The Trump administration has backed down in its dispute with Maine over its policies on transgender athletes, agreeing to restore federal funding for education programs in the state after a freeze was sparked by President Trump's opposition to the state's rules. The decision comes after a long-standing debate between the state and the federal government over the participation of trans athletes in school sports. As part of the agreement, Maine's policies on transgender athletes will remain intact. The move marks a significant shift in the administration's stance on the issue.
