resident Obama’s done lost his mind. He’s just flushed the civil rights of men and women, boys and girls, to pee in peace and shower without having naked, sexually confused or sexually predatory members of the opposite sex ogling them, or intentionally exposing their genitalia for a cheap thrill.
Reports Fox News: “The Obama administration has sent a letter to every public school district in the country telling them to allow transgender students [meaning students pretending to be the opposite sex] to use bathrooms and locker rooms that match their chosen gender identity, as opposed to their birth certificate. …
“While the letter does not have the force of law, it does warn that schools that do not abide by the administration’s interpretation of civil rights law may face lawsuits or loss of federal aid.”
The operative phrase here is, “does not have the force of law.” This is a cynical exercise in pure propaganda on the part of the Obama administration. The directive is entirely toothless and universally at odds with long-standing and unambiguous legislative intent and judicial interpretation of both Titles VII and IX of federal law.
It’s clearly in response to North Carolina’s federal lawsuit against the administration in defense of that state’s HB2 bathroom bill. “This is an attempt to unilaterally rewrite long-established federal civil rights laws in a manner that is wholly inconsistent with the intent of Congress and disregards decades of statutory interpretation by the courts,” notes North Carolina Gov. Pat McCrory’s complaint.
School officials should, and must, ignore this absurd disinformation campaign. It’s nothing short of a frantic effort to curb the rising national tide of fierce opposition to genderless bathrooms, locker rooms and showering facilities.
“There is no room in our schools for discrimination of any kind, including discrimination against transgender students on the basis of their sex,” claims Attorney General Loretta Lynch.
One small problem: Title VII clearly defines what is meant by “sex.” It was intended to bar discrimination against women (real women), and Lynch knows it: “The terms ‘because of sex’ or ‘on the basis of sex’ include, but are not limited to, because of or on the basis of pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions; and women affected by pregnancy, childbirth, or related medical conditions shall be treated the same for all employment-related purposes.”
As noted by former Assistant U.S. Attorney Frank Lipuma in the John Marshal Law Review, the “courts have defined ‘sex’ according to the traditional notions of biological sex.”
Even hard-left Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg has acknowledged this indisputable fact for years, writing in the Washington Post, “Separate places to disrobe, sleep, perform personal bodily functions are permitted, in some situations required, by regard for individual privacy.” When you’ve moved to the left of Ruth Bader Ginsburg, there’s no left left.
Moreover, Congress has, without fail, rejected efforts to include “gender identity” or “sexual orientation” in federal law. It is abundantly clear that the lawmakers who drafted and passed Titles VII and IX never dreamed that “sex” might include a man laboring under the delusion that he’s a woman.
And so, true to form, Friday’s “guidance” letter represents but another desperate attempt by our despot-in-chief to circumvent the constitutional process through executive fiat.
This “gender identity” madness is “The Emperor’s New Clothes” meets George Orwell. We must all pretend, under penalty of law, that a man in a miniskirt is magically a woman, or face the wrath of “progressive” Big Brother (or is it Big Sister?)
I’m so confused!
Not only is the extremist “LGBT” agenda counter-constitutional, offensive and outrageous, it’s also extremely dangerous. There have already been dozens of instances wherein sexual predators have brazenly leveraged these “gender identity” and “sexual orientation” policies for their own perverted purposes. Consider, for example, the following. If it doesn’t make your blood boil, then you just might be a liberal:
Washington state, dateline 2012: Colleen is just like the girl next door. Well, sort of. Colleen has a penis. So, I guess, unless the girl next door has a penis, Coleen really isn’t much like her at all.
But that’s beside the point. In Washington you must, by law, pretend, along with Colleen, President Obama and Loretta Lynch, that, in the face of both reality and sanity, Colleen really is like the girl next door. This includes letting Colleen, who is actually a 47-year-old dude named Clay Scott Francis, lie naked and “sprawled out in a sauna exposing himself” to girls as young as 6-years-old. This really happened in the ladies locker room at Evergreen State College.
Slow down there, Dad. According to Washington state law, if you have a problem with Mr. Francis baring all to your baby girl, then you’re the problem. You’re a “transphobe” (“homophobia’s” evil twin). Deck this pervert for terrifying your first-grader and you’re off to jail while “Colleen” is off to the “Human Rights Campaign” for a commendation as the latest victim of an “anti-LGBT hate crime.”
Rosa Parks in drag, I guess.
It’s only fair, you see, because, as Clay, er, “Colleen,” complained, and as police agreed, this sicko was “discriminated against” when he was asked to leave on behalf of a terrorized 17-year-old girl. “This is not 1959 Alabama,” cried Francis. “We don’t call police for drinking from the wrong water fountain.”
On this, Francis, Loretta Lynch and the larger Obama administration are simpatico. They share this bizarre hostility toward objective biological reality and the safety and privacy rights of women and children.
And the farcical “civil rights” card is their ruse of choice.
“It was not so very long ago that states, including North Carolina, had other signs above restrooms, water fountains, and on public accommodations, keeping people out based on a distinction without a difference. We’ve moved beyond those dark days,” opined Lynch last week.
“Distinction without a difference?” Evidently AG Lynch skipped third-grade biology. Time for a “birds and bees” refresher at 1600 Pennsylvania. It remains unclear whether Mr. Francis drafted Lynch’s off-the-wall remarks himself.
Get that, my African-American friends? According to both the Obama administration and their ally, Clay Scott Francis, a beneficiary of “white privilege,” a man who, incidentally, identifies as a “transgender lesbian” (meaning he’s sexually attracted to females), to be told that you cannot sprawl naked and intentionally expose your manly bits to 6-year-old girls is no different from being relegated to a “colored only” water fountain.
What a tangled web of gender dysphoria and progressive pathology we weave. It is not “transphobia” to recognize that “transgender girls” are not real girls. It is an empirical, biological fact that “transgender girls” are not real girls. They are, have always been and always will be boys, no matter how deep-seated their sexual confusion.
This madness must stop.
Time to man up, America.
The MSM may not be purposely blocking these stories. Everyone knows that this kind of thing happens. It’s probably just too run of the mill to report.
But it is the purposeful denial of common knowledge that is so disturbing about this.
Many Americans seem to think hurt feelings are more important than common sense. There will always have to be trade offs between the two in any functioning society.
This has nothing to do with bathrooms and trannies, it’s about maintaining federal control. Power.
Be careful not to miss seeing the forest for these trees! Our pResident has not lost his mind; he and his minions want us to lose ours, I.e., due to repeated assaults on our way of life. These body blows to the “body politic” are like those of a prizefighter pummeling his opponent in the last stages of a fight, e.g, when he has him on the ropes. Each of these final blows does not have to be very hard, I.e., when compared to a knockout punch, but the strategy is not to give his opponent any time to react before the next blow lands. It is an effective strategy, I.e., looking at current events, we see the focus change rapidly from supposed racism, to supposed homophobia, to supposed Islamophobia, to a supposed phobia of those who are transsexual, etc. There is scant time to deal with one topic in a rational manner before the next one becomes predominant. And that is no accident!
These minions include the most of the media, I.e., those who conveniently discard their ethics when it comes to reporting on anything that, if the truth be told, would weaken the stranglehold of the socialists and thieves in power. This collusion is like the roots of the various trees in this journalistic forest. The solution is to first correctly label the socialists, theives and other miscreants currently on power who hide behind masks of obfuscation. I plead with you to be clear as I am and not give them any benefit of a doubt. The vast majority of them are hard core socialists and thieves who are enabled by lesser lights in the media.
The proof of the foregoing accusation is easy, especially if we look back a decade or so. The Obama Administration, like the Clinton Administration before it, enjoys such favorable treatment from most of the media and the Bush Administration had such a difficult and adversarial relationship with them.
I could cite thousands of examples, but the bigger point that I do not wish to to detract from by citing them, is that it is high time we figuratively assault the so-called Main Stream Media in much the same way as the winning boxer mentioned above, as well as cut off their ad revenue. We have to expose the tangled roots of these trees and thier connections to these socialists and theives. For example, we must ask these media figures why they don’t report on , or why they downplay this news item or hype another one, I.e., why they try to portray these socialists and theives in the best possible light. We must figuratively rip away the masks of supposed objectivity they wear by asking them, what is in it for them? For example, do they expect to be elevated to a position of power and influence like George Stephanopolus, or are they expecting a cut of the loot?
Of course
I sooooo hope Dems make an issue of this for the campaign. Common sense prevails across the country and most will simply ignore the mandate. Those that implement the mandate will wish they had not. They’ll be removed from their positions of authority in most instances. Those in liberal enclaves can live in their own morass.
No monies will be withheld. It is becoming better understood to be an unenforceable and illegal executive order. What’s an Obama to do, sue 85% of the school districts ?
Bring it on, PLEASE !
The headline is intentionally misleading, and is written in such a way as to promote Bernie Sanders and Hillary Clinton.
This is not “Obama’s bathroom policy.”
This is “The Democrat’s bathroom policy.”
Actually that could be a Kotex pad
Lynch said we can not discriminate, men should be allowed on women’s athletic teams now. I feel like I am living in some parallel universe.
The national MSM is certainly suppressing these stories.
One of the most commonly repeated (but undoubtedly widely believed)Big Lies that crops up over and over and over in the comments following transgender bathroom stories is that there have been no cases of the abuse of these new regulations by men attempting to get into ladies’ bathrooms for perverted reasons.
I see this comment over and over and over following stories in the MSM. Liberals actually believe it. It’s a Big Lie and the MSM is responsible for it, by spiking the actually stories of male pervs in the ladies’ rooms.
Talk about gross.
The president is focusing the power of his office on bathrooms. Hard to believe this madness is happening.
Hopefully the disastrous Obama experience will convince a sufficient number of people to vote for Trump and that he will focus his energies and prestige on solving more pressing national problems.
You all do understand that this does not apply to just bathrooms? It should be more aptly titled: Obama’s Coed Shower Room Madness. A local said that is 2 nine and ten year old daughters showering with 14 and 15 year old boys was a “teachable moment” so the madness is not just with 0bama ...
Incredibly stupid ruse to create confusion while our country faces real, very serious problems.
This has nothing to do with bathrooms and trannies, it’s about maintaining federal control. Power.
**************
Anyone who has ever worked in Washington DC cesspool understands this very well. Its all about the elites controlling people’s lives and wielding power over them.
Not as complicated as some are making it. Zero has 250 some days left. Moochelle/Michael is pressuring him to ease her/his transition to private life. The little candyass is doing what he’s told.
Has Trump responded to this latest evil directive?
øbama’s own homosexuality is behind this bathroom fixation.
The Creep in Chief
Gutless School Boards will rush to accommodate this lunacy.
Elected School Boards?
Yes...Cloward Piven
