Elements of the social and religious right have targeted a Maine proposal to allow transgendered students to use the facilities appropriate to the gender with which the students identify.
The Maine Human Rights Commission has taken up the question of whether the issue of which restroom transgender students may use falls under the rubric of existing anti-discrimination laws. On March 1, the Commission voted to open the deliberation to public input, according to a March 2 article in local newspaper the Kennebec Journal.
