In a striking display of protest during an Augusta, Maine school board meeting, several individuals chose to partially disrobe, aiming to vividly illustrate the discomfort that young girls may experience when required to undress in locker rooms shared with biological males.
In opposition to the Augusta School Department’s Title IX policies, three protestors began to remove their clothing at Wednesday’s school board meeting. Nicholas Blanchard, using the moniker Corn Pop, spoke as he was joined by two women and another man in this unexpected demonstration.
“You feel uncomfortable? That’s exactly how these young girls feel when a boy walks into the locker room and starts changing in front of them,” Blanchard asserted, addressing the board members directly.
Blanchard later shared a recording of the protest on social media, declaring, “The Augusta School Board had a chance to be heroes but instead became zeros.” He continued: “So, Corn Pop and a few locals stepped up to give them a taste of their own medicine, making them feel as uneasy as young girls do when confronted with such situations.”
As the board members visibly squirmed, Blanchard emphasized, “Now I’m about to show you guys how uncomfortable this really is for these young girls.”
He was met with an interjection of ‘point of order,’ but he persisted: “They’re covered. You feel uncomfortable? That’s what these young girls feel when a boy walks into the locker room and starts changing in front of them.”
“Yeah, you feel uncomfortable, right?”

The Unquirer highlights, “In Augusta, Maine, the school policy permits non-binary males to change, shower, and compete in sports with girls. Currently, only Kati McCormick and James Orr among the board’s members are advocating for the protection of both girls and boys in this context.”
“The remaining board members are either indecisive or actively endorse ‘Gender Ideology,’ which obscures traditional notions of biological sex in favor of a subjective approach encompassing self-identification and gender expression. This shift raises significant questions about the historical protections previously established for boys and girls in educational environments.”
