"A chaotic school board meeting in Maine on Wednesday night confirms a trend among anti-trans MAGA activists desperate for attention in Donald Trump's crusade against trans identity: stripping in public. The Augusta School Board devolved into partially-nude anarchy last week when local MAGA activist Nick Blanchard, who led the stunt, delivered an angry speech from the podium as two women stripped down to their underwear next to him and yelled at board members and the audience."
"The stunt followed a lengthy debate among board members at the sparsely attended meeting, after a member introduced a motion to defy state law and follow Trump 's diktat. Said Republican member Kati McCormick, "Don't take girls' voices away. Don't take girls' rights away," Just the News reports. "I don't want to talk about this anymore," she added. "I want this to be done tonight and us to do the right thing and us to get on with our lives.""
A chaotic school board meeting in Augusta, Maine erupted when an anti-trans MAGA activist led a partially-nude protest during public comment. Two women stripped to their underwear beside activist Nick Blanchard as he delivered an angry speech criticizing officials for upholding Maine's Title IX interpretation that permits trans student-athletes to participate in school sports. The U.S. Department of Justice is suing Maine for defying Trump's executive order titled "Keeping Men Out of Women's Sports." Board members debated a motion to defy state law, with Republican Kati McCormick urging protection of girls' rights and Charles Hicks insisting the executive order is not law. The board ultimately adhered to state law.
