Democrat-controlled states, from Maine to California, are getting more
extreme, not less. They have learned nothing. From Title IX to higher
taxes, they hurt their people. This just has to stop.

Title IX provides an excellent example of Democrat extremism. On June 23,
1972, President Nixon signed Title IX, a civil rights law opening
educational, sports, scholarship, and wider opportunities to girls and
women. Why it took so long is another story, but suffice it to say, it
was overdue.

Prior to Title IX, discrimination against girls and women in education and elsewhere was defended on biology. It was rampant. Girls and women were disallowed from classes, majors, sports, learning, and hiring, forced to
take certain classes, and perform tasks not asked of boys.

The notion that girls and women might equal – or exceed – males in math, science, engineering, reading, writing, linguistics, law, or medicine was radical. Giving them a fair chance to try was, too.

Over the next 50 years, Title IX protected biological girls and women for
the very reason that they are biologically different. Genetically, in
bone, joint, muscle, respiratory structure, and dozens of other
verifiable, unchangeable ways, from pre-birth to death, women are
different.

Just writing those words, realizing there is a need to write them, seems utterly silly. But that is the state of our political dialogue, the low
bar or ridiculous nature of this debate set by Democrats.

The main point remains: Biological girls and women – the only kind there
are – deserve “equal protection,” benefits, opportunities, dignity,
privacy, safety, and chances to realize life dreams.

They deserve – in society’s educational, employment, athletic, and other
venues – the chance not to be intimidated, threatened, hurt, overrun by
males, dishonored, displaced, or pushed to sacrifice their God-given
identity, dignity, privacy, safety, or opportunities – by misapplied laws.

Politics, pride, prejudice, and leftwing ideology will never redefine
humanity, despite the Marxist hope to do that. They cannot redefine what
is un-redefinable, like math, physics, chemistry, biology, the universe,
and nature. They cannot redefine timeless constitutional principles or
natural law.

So, where does that leave us? In places like Maine, it leaves the Democrat-controlled legislature, female governor and secretary of state,
and attorney general – looking silly, denying facts and law.

With girls and women succeeding under Title IX, experiencing equal
treatment, accommodation, admissions, scholarships, participation in
education, elementary to grad schools, they are turning back the clock, disadvantaging biological women.

This crazy specter – in Maine and other states pushing ideological
extremism, determined to “resist” President Trump – is a bad comedy, fast becoming a tragedy. It will end poorly, as bad policy always does. Trying
to reverse Title IX’s protections is like trying to disown the
Constitution.

Beyond a sweeping electoral reaction in 2026, what else might happen?
Failing one-party states, like Maine under Democrat misrule, are hurting
their people badly, measurably. It may get worse.

Unlike Maine’s female governor and 52-percent-female Democrat legislative contingent, all of whom benefited by Title IX recognizing and protecting
them as women, they would have Maine girls be second-class citizens –
forced to compete with males in sports and lose rights. suffer injuries.

It is really, even in political terms, rather incredible. Missing is hard-
won equal treatment and appreciation for biological uniqueness. Lost is
the chance to shine, participate without fear of injury or injustice,
receive scholarships, gain life-changing recognition, and enjoy privacy in bathrooms and locker rooms.

The brazen way this is done by Maine’s arrogant Democrat leaders is breathtaking and stirs anger. It should. As the father of a girl, Title IX
and our Constitution must be honored, not lawlessly denied.

The final act, unless Maine Democrats find humility, will again slam
Mainers. The Department of Justice will lawfully withhold education funds, conditioned on a Governor violating established law.

The same would be true, by the way, under any president and for any
governor who knowingly violated Civil Rights. Here, the prejudice is not against a race but against girls and women.

Bottomline: Maine Democrats – and others nationwide – need to pause,
think, look at facts, and abide by the law. Otherwise, families will be hammered. Democrats seem to care more about ideology than people. In
truth, nutrition, special education, and other programs will continue –
but with higher taxes.

In places like Maine, already transparently mismanaged, facing a $450- million-dollar deficit, then new taxes for $120 million in Democrat overspending, taxpayers may face another $360 million in State taxes. All
this was avoidable. Budgets and taxes must be cut, girls protected. Does
it get any simpler?
