Rep. Cheryl Golek (D-Harpswell) withdrew a bill from consideration on Monday that would have mandated LGBTQ education curriculum in all public schools across the state.

Golek’s bill, LD 1482, drew strong support from her party, with nine co-sponsors, and would have mandated LGBTQ+ education in the mandatory Maine history and American history courses.

Despite seemingly strong support from her party, Golek quietly requested leave to withdraw her bill, which was granted on Monday.

She did not offer an explanation for her decision, and she did not respond to a request for comment from The Maine Wire.

The withdrawal may have been a reaction to the increased scrutiny faced by the Maine Department of Education for its failure to comply with President Donald Trump’s executive order protecting women’s sports by refusing to bar biological males from competing against girls.

Maine’s resistance has already led to a federal lawsuit, along with federal funding cuts.

Golek’s bill would likely have run afoul of one of President Trump’s other orders, “Ending Radical Indoctrination in K-12 Schooling.”
