PHOENIX Arizona joined with Texas today to challenge a directive by the Obama administration that schools must let transgender students use restrooms that match their self-proclaimed sexual identity.
The lawsuit filed in federal court in Texas contends Congress never gave the administration the power to enact such sweeping rules when it enacting laws prohibiting sex discrimination by schools receiving federal dollars. In fact, the attorneys cite comments by congressmen when the measure was approved in 1972 saying it was never the intent to sexually integrate same-sex facilities.
Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who is taking the lead, is arguing that the issue goes beyond a pure question of law. He said federal agencies "have conspired to turn workplaces and educational setting across the country into laboratories for a massive social experiment, flouting the democratic processes, and running roughshod over commonsense policies protecting children and basic privacy rights.''
Translation: I hate Obama because he is black. (/sarc)
The other good states of the 50 need to enjoin the fight against the insanity.
The muslim fathers are not going to tolerate boys in the locker rooms with their daughters. They will pull the kids from public school and educate them in islamic schools.
Proud to be a “Zonie”
