The LGBT module was part of the MOOSE program, or the Maine Online Opportunities for Sustained Education, which was created in 2020 with $2.8 million from Biden&#8217;s &#8220;<a href=\"https:\/\/thepostmillennial.com\/biden-claims-to-have-created-greatest-economic-recovery-america-has-ever-experienced\">American Rescue Plan<\/a>.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section data-v-f313b7e6=\"\">\n<p>The plan consisted of videos for remote learning and in one video, Maine kindergarten teacher Kailina Mills <a href=\"https:\/\/thepostmillennial.com\/maine-doe-removes-lesson-featuring-lgbtq-topics-following-backlash\">said<\/a> that a transgender person is &#8220;someone who the doctors made a mistake about when they&#8217;re born.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<section data-v-f313b7e6=\"\">\n<p>The backlash that ensued prompted the Maine Republican Party to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.wmtw.com\/article\/maine-republicans-increase-spending-on-attack-ad-over-lgbtq-educational-video\/40083771#\">create ads<\/a> using clips from the teacher to criticize Maine&#8217;s Democrat Governor Janet Mills.
