Title IX Showdown in Maine: Attorney Keith Altman Breaks Down the Federal-State Legal Battle on WMTW Channel 8

FARMINGTON HILLS, MI, UNITED STATES, April 18, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- In a high-profile interview on WMTW Channel 8, nationally recognized attorney Keith Altman, Founding Partner of K Altman Law, offered expert legal commentary on Maine’s controversial challenge to federal Title IX regulations concerning transgender student-athletes.

As Maine defies the Trump administration’s interpretation of Title IX, which requires schools not to allow transgender girls to participate in girls' sports, the state is now on a collision course with federal civil rights law. Altman explained the legal stakes, citing the Supremacy Clause of the U.S. Constitution as the key issue at play.

“The Supremacy Clause is clear - when a state law conflicts with federal law, federal law prevails,” Altman stated in the segment. “If the federal government chooses to act on this, Maine could very well find itself on the losing side of a legal battle.”

Altman’s analysis was featured as part of Channel 8’s continuing coverage of the legal, political, and social complexities surrounding transgender inclusion in school athletics. The case has gained traction nationally, sparking debate across school districts, legal circles, and state legislatures.

K Altman Law, known for its national Title IX and Student Defense practice, weighed in not as a political player but as a legal authority. The firm represents students and educators across the country in matters related to academic discipline, discrimination, and educational equity.

“This is not a political issue for us,” Altman added. “It’s about understanding how the law functions and what rights are at stake when state and federal policies diverge.”

To further expand on Altman’s appearance and provide additional legal context, K Altman Law has published a companion blog post breaking down the legal implications of the case for schools, families, and civil rights advocates.
