President Obama’s Department of Education is on the warpath, threatening Township High School District 211 with sanctions if they don’t stop discriminating against transgender students.
The Palatine, Illinois school district, they say, is violating the Title IX law that prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex. What did the school district do that raised the ire of the Obama administration?
Did they force the transgender student to sit in the closet while the rest of the students ate lunch?
Did teachers throw chalky erasers at the transgender student every time they arrived in class?
No, this case is based in a complaint filed by a transgender female (that means a girl who used to be a boy, for those who grow confused about these terms), accusing the school district of not allowing her full use of the girls’ locker room. Not use period, mind you. Unlimited use.
See, the school came up with a compromise. They would be happy to change a student’s name on school records, they would dutifully change the little box on paperwork from M to F, and they would even allow these students to play on whichever sports teams they felt most comfortable with. But it wasn’t enough.
Because the school district hung up privacy curtains in the locker room and insisted that the student use that area to change, they are guilty of discrimination. In a statement, Catherine Lhamon, a civil rights secretary in the DOE, said, “Township High School District 211 is not following the law because the district continues to deny a female student the right to use the girls’ locker room.†Not really, though, huh? No, not really at all. Democrats. They’re always coming up with new and exciting ways to bring the iron hand of the federal government down on the people. You almost have to pause and admire them.
Republicans can’t even defend a state law that mimics a federal law already in existence, but the Democrats can actually come up with a whole new gender and sell it to the American people! It’s fascinating. But maybe it’s not really that surprising. After all, it’s tough to put conservative principles to work in your life.
To accept that you are the captain of your own ship. To accept that to have a good life, you must uphold certain principles and virtues, even when it’s hard to do so. To accept that your way of life may not always be in alignment with what’s popular at the moment. It’s much easier to just let go and hope the winds of life blow you somewhere nice.
It takes less energy to study Caitlyn Jenner than to study George Washington. If there’s one thing any reasonable man can say, it’s that a nation filled with people bumbling around with their fingers crossed is soon to be doomed. The conservative answer is to inspire people to wake up, take the wheel, and guide their ship somewhere promising. The liberal answer is to distract people with fantasies of climate change and social inequality. And then, when they’re not looking, Democrats will take the wheel.
You don’t get to tell them where to take the ship, but hey, at least you don’t have to drive, right?
Never forget that the money the central socialist government mugs you to steal is used to fund this gigantic DOE and to pay a humungous salary to this brain-rotted simpleton, who probably is a lesbian.
There is a little girl on the bathroom door and a little boy on the other. If it didn't matter there would be no signs.
President Donald Trump will eliminate the DOE while the retired brain surgeon would invite Farrakhan to the White Hut.
Trump/Cruz 2016
If the republicans don’t hang this around the neck of all democrats in 2016, they deserve to lose.
The world is on a collision course with WWIII and this POS president has nothing to worry about except which bathroom someone uses? This is truly an Alice in Wonderland nation now.
If a student identifies as a goldfish, does the school have to provide an aquarium for him?
"We totally support this and ObamaCARE and ObamaTRADE.
Get over it, you stupid voters."
Spot on.
Sadly.
When did we make the leap from “Discrimination means demonstrable repeated suffering” to “Discrimination means I don’t get everything I wish as soon as I wish it”?
Clearly.
Isn’t it curious that this president is so obsessed with transgenderism? And Islam? What a strange combination.
Fair enough. I totally agree, on one condition; as long as Obama is just fine with the idea of a 49 year old man, who identifies as a female college freshman, can shower with Obama's teenage daughter.
It is very peculiar that nobody is speaking about the rights of the girls who attend this school.
What happened to their right to privacy? Since we have penumbras and all to abortion. What about these girls right to their privacy?
You know why “it” doesn’t want to use the boys locker room....because “it” would be (rightly so) the target of mockery and hazings.
Obama’s not just a corrupt, Africa-style clown, he’s a mental case, as well.
If she’s a lesbian she probably wants to use the girls locker room
It’s the male lesbians using the showers with Sasha and Malia at Sidwell Friends that need to appear on “ The View”
In fact maybe the obama women should all volunteer to shower with Bruce Jenner to lead the way on lgbt rights
And Michelle is actually a man.
gays
trannys
Wiccans
Muslims
Criminals
Communists
Non white racists
Abortion providers
women who leave their husbands but want to drain them of all their money.
Any other thing that is against sound biblical doctrine.
There is no discrimination because no matter what anyone says or anyone does "she" will always be a male and the rules are applied equally.
Maybe Joan Rivers was right.....maybe Michelle really IS a Tranny!!
