Obama Decrees that Public Schools Allow Transgender Access to Restrooms


The proposal is being presented as another facet of civil rights, but the question is, whose rights are being violated? Stories are already emerging about males entering women’s restrooms and molesting young girls under the guise of this twisted policy. But the crazies keep talking and talking, and they may even be convincing themselves.

“No student should ever have to go through the experience of feeling unwelcome at school or on a college campus,” John B. King Jr., the secretary of the Department of Education, said in a statement. “We must ensure that our young people know that whoever they are or wherever they come from, they have the opportunity to get a great education in an environment free from discrimination, harassment and violence.”

Courts have not settled the question of whether the nation’s sex discrimination laws apply in matters of gender identity. But administration officials, emboldened by a federal appeals court ruling in Virginia last month, think they have the upper hand. This week, the Justice Department and North Carolina sued each other over a state law that restricts access to bathrooms, locker rooms and changing rooms. The letter to school districts had been in the works for months, Justice Department officials said.

“A school may not require transgender students to use facilities inconsistent with their gender identity or to use individual-user facilities when other students are not required to do so,” according to the letter, a copy of which was provided to The New York Times.

A school’s obligation under federal law “to ensure nondiscrimination on the basis of sex requires schools to provide transgender students equal access to educational programs and activities even in circumstances in which other students, parents, or community members raise objections or concerns,” the letter states. “As is consistently recognized in civil rights cases, the desire to accommodate others’ discomfort cannot justify a policy that singles out and disadvantages a particular class of students.

The Justice Department has for years made gay and transgender issues centerpieces of its civil rights agenda. Former Attorney General Eric H. Holder Jr. described that campaign as a continuation of the civil rights era that brought equal rights to African-Americans. And this week, Attorney General Loretta E. Lynch spoke passionately to transgender people as she cast the lawsuit against North Carolina in historic terms.
The proposal has nothing to do with civil rights, and at it’s core it violates common sense and the rights of the 99% majority of students and their parents who see this as a major intrusion into their children’s privacy.
How to resolve the issue? The first answer is quite simple. To Mr. Obama, Loretta Lynch, and the huge number of LGBTQ Education Department officials who are driving this;
Get your social engineering agenda the hell out of the girls restrooms!
The second, longer term recommendation is this: get public education out of your children’s lives! Push for charter schools, for private schools, for vouchers. Public schools are no longer controlled locally, and they are a failed educational system that indoctrinates and controls from Washington D.C. by providing and withholding huge sums of money in order to mandate what is taught and how schools are run. It is time to pull the plug on that out-of-control system. That is starting to happen in Texas where Lt. Governor Dan Patrick told reporters at the Republican Party of Texas Convention that “the President essentially is telling Americans he’s going to withhold funding if schools do not follow the policy. Well, in Texas, he can keep his 30 pieces of silver.
Patrick also pointed out that Texas receives about $10 billion over a two year period from the federal government, much of which is used to provide breakfast and lunch to students from low income families. The threat from Obama to withhold the funds means that poor children will go hungry, but that also seems to be okay with the president in order to push his bizarre agenda.
Also in response, Texas Governor Greg Abbott sent a message via Twitter saying, “I announced today that Texas is fighting this. Obama can’t rewrite the Civil Rights Act. He’s not a King.”
The whole issue is nonsensical, but it appears that the administration is being dragged by the nose by the LBGTQ lobby, and the end result is this kind of ridiculous and undemocratic stupidity. It is entirely possible that the more the LBGTQ lobby rubs its perverted, twisted demands in the face of ordinary Americans, the more likely that there will be an eventual pushback, with the potential for serious violence and harm. Perhaps this will be the match that lights the inferno. Maybe that is what we need to regain some rationality to what Obama is doing to this country.
