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.”
I hope the voters in this district will vote this person out of office at the next opportunity .
People like this are destroying Maine for the rest of us ….the normal common sense people .
This person is a danger to us . She needs to go away .
What a sick bunch of folks the democrats are, our public schools are just grooming the kids. I wish there were some teachers who protect the children. I am so glad our kids got out years ago, it was bad enough back then.
Investigate her for Kiddie Touching – If you are for it , You DO IT !
Everyone go to your local SCHOOL BOARD MEETINGS and protest AGAINST this perverted ideological indoctrination of American children to beome violent raging drug/ sexually addicted useless citizens.
SPONSORS OF THIS BILL WERE:
The attack on Maine children is real. It is spearheaded by mental illness, rage, and perversion.
Parents must stay informed by attending local school board meetings in droves in order to protect Maine children by pushing back against this depravity.
Why does the homofascist agenda need a law to be implemented? It already is in every public school in Maine.
Geez, Cheryl! Man up, and put on your big boy pants when you propose doing good for the “marginalized.”
Catering to the finge 0.01% of the population is NOT ACCEPTABLE to 80% of your constituents, Janut!
Grooming our children for a lifetime of sexual depravity is NOT ACCEPTABLE to 80% of the voters, Janut!
Destroying biological (XX-dna) females rights to elevate biological male (XY-dna) fetishes is NOT ACCEPTABLE to 80% of We, the People, and the constitutional republic for which we stand and fight, fight, fight! Janut!
Its Spring in Maine and the three dollar bills are coming out….out of the wood work.
This woke lesbian rep will probably bring this proposal back in a few years…after she successfully runs again in her liberal bastion/district.
This is beyond weird! It’s madness. This was just her first try. She’ll be at it again.
