The U.S. Department of Education issued a final warning to the state of Maine, telling it to agree to protect female sports or suffer cuts in federal funding.

On March 19, the federal department’s Office for Civil Rights (OCR) sent a letter notifying the Maine Department of Education (MDOE) that its policies and practices violate Title IX rules by allowing males to partake in female sporting events.
