Maine is a lovely place where community is valued. A community can only stay strong and decent by shining the sun on the shameful people engaging in shameful behavior within it.

bluesky is a 2025 social media platform with worse QOL features than twitter in 2008 so here is all the alt-text since one still cannot add it to an image after the fact
Three people protesting the Augusta School Department’s Title IX policy tried to make their point by starting to undress at Wednesday’s school board meeting. Nicholas Blanchard, who goes by the name Corn Pop, was accompanied by two women and a man who disrobed down to their underwear as he spoke. They took their clothes on and off to mimic someone changing in a locker room. “You feel uncomfortable? ‘Cause that’s what these young girls feel like when a boy walks into the locker room and starts undressing around them. You feel uncomfortable, right?” he said. Since January, the Augusta school board’s monthly meetings have become rowdy . The chairperson told Timothy Bodnar to move to the overflow room because of his outbursts and the board took several recesses to calm the crowd. The 3 1/2-hour meeting at the City Council chambers consisted of two 45-minute public comment periods, one on agenda items and one on nonagenda items. “This is Maine’s capital. We should set an example for the rest of the state. Know what example you all are setting? That you don’t care about girls in this state. You guys only care about politics,” Blanchard said. On Thursday, Blanchard said more than 150 people have contacted him following the meeting, either about the video or his stance on protecting girls. “I just hope that this encourages other parents to start coming to school board meetings and paying attention to what’s going on in schools,” he said. “Do I think these tactics work in a way of changing policy? Probably not. But the only way to get them to listen to us is to do something crazy and get in the national spotlight. Through this, they can feel the same way these young girls feel.” Other parents have declined to comment about the meetings. Most of the parents and community members who spoke at the meeting favored following Trump’s executive order. However, none of the students who were there did. Matteo Hardy, a senior at Cony High School, said he was appalled and frustrated when he heard about the board decision to rehash the Title IX policies. “When we talk about rolling back the policies, we are sending a message to students. It’s saying who they are is up for discussion and their safety is negotiable. We should focus on making sure students feel supported in their education,” Hardy said.
