Collins' Move Affects Maine's School Policies

U.S. Sen. Susan Collins signed a petition for a 2026 referendum to ban transgender students from sports and private spaces.
Maine needs 68,000 signatures by early February to qualify for a 2026 ballot.
The proposal would assign school teams by sex at birth and restrict bathrooms and locker rooms.
The Trump administration is suing Maine, threatening to withhold federal funding.
49% of Americans support bathroom bans, per a Pew survey.
Collins' action aligns with Trump's Title IX stance and is tied to her 2026 re-election.
