Parents and students were outraged over a transgender runner competing with the girls in the Maine XC Festival of Champions on Saturday.
Maine Coast Waldorf School high school sophomore Soren Stark-Chessa previously competed in the boys’ category for the school one year prior. In the 5k division, Stark-Chessa ranked approximately 172nd among males in the state. After transitioning, however, the runner shot up to 4th place in the girls’ division.
High school track mom Katherine Collins from Winterport, Maine, later spoke with "Fox & Friends" about the event, calling out the "unfairness" of the race.
"It’s all a matter of unfairness. The men are bigger, stronger and faster than women," Collins said.
She also criticized the Maine Principals Association for allowing the transgender runner to compete based on its "Gender Equity and Inclusion Policy."
"Obviously, there is an unfair advantage, but they’ve allowed this. Last year, in outdoor track, in the Class-C state meet, two boys participated. One podiumed and was moved on to the New England track meet. So a girl was put aside and not allowed to medal and not allowed to participate in a higher level because of this boy," Collins explained.
The policy declares that "all students should have the opportunity to participate in MPA activities in a manner that is consistent with their gender identity, unless such participation would result in an unfair athletic advantage or would present an unacceptable risk of injury to other student athletes."
"The only reason that this boy did not win the meet on Saturday is because Greene has some of the strongest female athletes in the nation. The first two girls who finished the race on Saturday…the first-place winner ranks number 8th in the country and the second-place winner ranks number 15th in the country. If it wasn’t for these top-ranked girls who are faster than most girls in the whole United States, this boy would have won the entire girls’ cross-country meet," Collins said.
In a comment to Maine podcast host Shawn McBreairty, an anonymous female runner also commented, "It is not fair to a female who has trained hard. Males are biologically faster than females, with testosterone. They need to run under their biological gender."
The Maine Principals Association did not respond for a comment to FOX News Digital.
Although Stark-Chessa placed only fifth in the event, Collins argued that it was only because of the top-ranking girls competing.
Saudi Pro-Israel blogger missing
Saudi blogger Mohammed Saud, who is known for his staunch pro-Israel stance and is fluent in Hebrew, has been missing for the past two days after he was supposed to meet Israeli Communications Minister Shlomo Karhi, who is visiting the kingdom.
Saud was supposed to appear on the Israeli Channel 14's "Hapatriotim" program but was absent, and since then, his whereabouts have been unknown.
Several assumptions and conspiracy theories have been raised on the internet regarding the disappearance. Middle East expert Dr. Eddie Cohen, who spoke with Saud on Monday, wrote that according to information that reached him, the blogger is in custody and is being interrogated by the local police.
Cohen wrote: "According to unverified information that an acquaintance of mine there sent me, Mohammed Saud is detained. The reason: "he wanted to do a live stream with Minister Karhi. They used the arrest as an excuse to search his cell phone as well."
He added that "in a day or two, he'll get out and deny the arrest and say that everything's alright, that he had a test, his phone malfunctioned, he was sick, and so on, that's how it is in these countries. Understand who we're dealing with."

Sadigere Rebbe of London doing His Lulav "shuckling"
נענועי האדמו"ר מסדיגורא לונדון
I am just wondering, would the rebbe shuckel this way if he wasn't a rebbe, if he was just a regular Joe!
Badatz Hooligans Continue to Threaten the Life of the author of "Peshuto Shel Mikrah"
Rabbi Zalman Gottlieb, the humble publisher of Peshuto she Mikrah, left all his personal belongings at home last night and disappeared.
He had returned from abroad where he was trying to clear his name and enterprise, and when he arrived in Israel, "Rabbi" Yehoshua Rosenberger issued a letter from some of the Badatz judges destroying all his hope.
Gottlieb told his family that he couldn't stand it anymore. Yesterday he disappeared, Police are looking for him...
In a dramatic development in the investigation into his disappearance police discovered recordings of phone calls that include explicit threats to his life.
His associate who found him the hiding place says:
"For several months now, he and his family have been undergoing an unbearable terror campaign, which includes harassment at all hours of the day, but the explicit threat that included a time and place to harm him forced us to smuggle him out immediately, and at the same time involve the police."
As you may recall, a group of rioters, and one of the leaders against the sefer published by the Leshem Institute, broke into the home of Gabad Betar Hagarach Weiss, who supports the book, and fled only when the police were called.
This threat to the life of one of the Institute's leaders is certainly another escalation on the part of the same extremist sect that has terrorized the public and rabbis in recent years.
Euro'Pishers Urges Israeli Government to Stop Subsidizing Yeshiva Students, ‘Encourage’ Them to Work
Europe’s Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) attacked the low work force participation of yeshiva students and those in the Arab sector in its 2023 Going for Growth report published Tuesday.
The European alliance recommended that Israel condition child allowances — a government assistance program provided to every Israeli parent in the country — on participation of fathers in the work force.
The OECD also recommended the government stop subsidies to yeshiva students, and increase funding for schools in the Arab sector.
Israel’s treatment of its yeshiva student population has long been a major issue for the country’s coalition governments, including that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, due to the rising haredi population in the country and the participation of religious parties in the coalition.
The report offers OECD member nations structural changes to help encourage long-term and sustainable growth. It includes general recommendations as well as a review and individual recommendations for each member country, including Israel.
In the section on Israel, the report notes that socioeconomic gaps remain wide, and noted the haredi and Arab sectors reflect low participation in the labor market — particularly in the high-tech arena — in addition to their earning lower wages and working a lower number of hours.
In addition, the report noted that the proportion of workers living below the poverty line is high, and that the wage gap between men and women stands at 24.3 percent — second only to the wage gap in South Korea.
Minnesota: School board candidate wants to place all Jewish children in foster homes
One of the candidates on the ballot for an upcoming Minnesota school board election is an avowed Holocaust denier who has called for all Jews to be sterilized and tattooed with the Star of David, all synagogues to be closed and all Jewish children to be forcibly removed from their parents.
Vaughn Klingenberg is one of seven candidates on the ballot for three open seats in Roseville, a suburb of the Twin Cities. In addition to his views on Jewish people, which he recently published under his own name on a blog, he also visited two area synagogues during the recent High Holidays, actions that have earned condemnation from the state’s attorney general and from local Jewish leaders alike.
“He has our attention. He’s clearly tried to get the attention of the public by spewing hateful, antisemitic rhetoric, which is obviously untrue but is also dangerous,” Minnesota Attorney General Keith Ellison told a local news channel.
Skeverer Chusid Kevin McCarthy Ousted
DIN: The "Bruuucha" from the Skverer Rebbe didn't work, and Skverer Chassidim are trying to figure out what went wrong. This could be bad PR for Skver, and politicians are now questioning whether to seek "bruuuuchis" from the rebbe,
Speaker Kevin McCarthy was voted out of the job Tuesday in an extraordinary showdown, a first in U.S. history, The 216-210 vote, forced by a contingent of hard-right conservatives, throws the House and its Republican leadership into chaos.
McCarthy’s chief rival, Rep. Matt Gaetz of Florida, brought forward the “motion to vacate” drawing together more than a handful of conservative Republican critics of the speaker and many Democrats who say he is unworthy of leadership.
Next steps are uncertain, but there is no obvious successor to lead the House Republican majority.
