SPIRIT LAKE, Iowa, January 11, 2015 (LifeSiteNews) – Texas senator Ted Cruz is doubling down on his criticisms of President Obama for suing schools that don't let boys use the same showers as girls.
According to video provided by NBC, Cruz addressed an effort by President Obama to "force a junior high to let a teenage boy shower with teenage girls," which consists of a new interpretation of Title IX that says not allowing teenagers access to restrooms and other facilities restricted to the opposite gender is sex discrimination. The administration has filed lawsuits against at least two school districts, threatening to pull their federal education funding.
"Look, my five-year-old daughter, Catherine – she knows the difference between boys and girls," said Cruz, who called the administration's effort "just nuts."
"The school said, 'Can we at least put up a curtain?' Oh, no, no, no, you need to let that teenage boy in the shower," said Cruz.
Cruz didn't name the school, but he appeared to be speaking about the Palatine, Illinois school district that recently caved to federal pressure when a male who identifies as female wanted to use female facilities. The school issued a statement claiming that the student agreed to use a curtain as part of the final agreement, but a spokesperson for the U.S. Department of Education said that part of the agreement was not binding.
A woman interrupted and described how a local school district was allowing a transgender student to use faculty restrooms. Cruz said, "Look, I don't know the facts of that, but I'll say that inflicting – inflicting him on the teachers is probably better than sticking him in the shower with the teenage girls."
The comments aren't Cruz's first on the issue of transgender students and rights of privacy. He was criticized by PolitiFact Texas late last year for referring to students according to their actual genders (as opposed to the opposite gender, with which they claim to identify).
But the left won't be satisfied with anything but the complete demoralization of society.

“The administration has filed lawsuits against at least two school districts, threatening to pull their federal education funding.”
If our school system wasn’t infected with Marxists, our school boards would be telling the Fed Gov to take their ‘funding” and shove it up their collective a$$es!
And at the same time, start a tax revolt to withhold that money from our Federal Income Taxes. The tax situation is upside down! State Taxes are relatively low by comparison to Federal Taxes. Even here in “high-tax” California, our state income taxes are a pittance by comparison to the Federal levy.
Yes, it is sex discrimination and giving a baby a bottle and an adult steak is ageism.
The left will not be satisfied until everyone is forced to publicly celebrate sexual perversion.
Cruz is right on this...
I just can’t believe we’re even talking about this. We could keep chasing every issue the left throws at us, or we can defeat the left and marginalize them.
This paves the way for facilitation of child abuse by three mechanisms
1) Providing abusers easy and private, closed doors access to potential victims and the ability to seduce or coerce them
2) Mainstreaming of universal legally mandated access and entry by perverts , desensitization and sexualization of both restroom and locker rooms and the people who frequent them from an early age. We will have our children mingling shoulder to shoulder to perverts who will be freedom to interact, form relationships and influence them at an early age from grade school onwards.
3 Creation of a legally above the law P.C. “untouchable” group of perverts who use civil rights laws as a shield for their molestation. Law enforcement ‘s hands will tied when it comes to dealing with these sickos
This folks, is the future.
The Plan is out in the open and freely expounded by NAMBLA, the National Man Boy Love Association whose’s motto is “get them at, before it is too late”
If he says that in New York City, could he get fined $250,000?
Whether the name is Richard or “Ricarda,” Dick Johnson does not belong in the girl’s locker room. Pun intended.
A good point.
The first thing to do is cut administrators’ salaries in half.
The second thing to do is cut teachers’ salaries in half.
Here in NY, it’s not unusual for a teacher to be making $70,000 to $80,000 a year — if not more. And they only work half a year!
You meant "get them at eight, before it's too late", right?
Sick b@$t@rd$!
The NAMBLA motto is , “get them at 8 , before it's too late.”
Cell phone composition has its limitations
Process is very simple
Take any of the Gay Agenda policy positions or goals and do a simple though experiment on how that specific Gay Agenda policy or talking point could eventually facilitate the goal of “getting them at 8 before it's too late”
Do far, the “ get them at 8” test is batting 1000 on predicting the direction and goals of the gay agenda
Here in NY, it’s not unusual for a teacher to be making $70,000 to $80,000 a year — if not more. And they only work half a year!
Don’t forget their lifetime pensions at 50-75% of highest salary...and that here in Pa they wanted the taxpayers to make up for the loss in their pensions from the crash of 2008...anybody cover your losses...?
That isn’t NAMBLA’s motto but it could be. The motto: “Sex before 8 or it’s too late” is from the Rene Guyon Society.
