South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley said a bill that's winding through the legislature to limit transgenders to public restrooms that correspond to their birth genders is not needed – that she hasn't fielded any complaints that would require such legislative steps.
"I don't believe it's necessary," she said, during a press conference reported on by the State. "There's not one instance that I'm aware of." Haley went on, the State reported: "When we look at our situation, we're not hearing of anybody's religious liberties that are being violated, and we're again not hearing any citizens that are being violated in terms of freedoms. Like it or not, South Carolina is doing really well when it comes to respect and when it comes to kindness and when it comes to acceptance. For people to imply it's not, I beg to differ."
Her comments seemed to imply she would not be signing the bill described by its sponsor, Sen. Lee Bright, as a "public safety" measure, and "totally different from a religious freedom bill," the State reported. Meanwhile, North Carolina recently passed a measure that bans local governments from approving policies that protect the LGBT crowd from housing and employment discrimination, in much the same way as different races are protected. Mississippi, around the same time, passed a law that lets businesses refuse service to those who violate the owners’ religious beliefs...

I meant to give you a courtesy ping to post #19.
Whether the boy raped the girl or they had consensual sex, there is no doubt the boy was in the girl’s restroom. At best it was consensual sex between a boy and a girl in the girls’ restroom. That sounds to me like a problem.
Yes, that is a real problem. But don’t be naïve. It could happen anywhere but in wasteland schools like Kingstree where Obama is seen as a king by the populace, this type of thing goes on every day. It is a real reach to pin this on Gov. Haley because you don’t like some of her political policies.
It is a real reach to accuse me of saying things I never said. I’ve seen that a lot recently. I’m really tired of liars. I did not accuse Gov. Haley of anything. If you have to resort to lying about what other FReepers have said, you really have nothing of value to contribute.
Just curious, why did you ping upchuck to your false accusation against me?
The article heading points directly to blaming Haley. Since you posted the Kingstree school incident in here I made the assumption you were linking her and Kingstree. I apologize if you were not making that connection but curious why you posted that.

upchuck is the de facto SC freeper contact.
Because Gov. Haley said she doesn’t know of a single instance in which this is a problem, Kevcol posted a link to an article about an instance when it was a problem, and you replied that it was nonsense and unproven.
That series of comments from Haley, Kevcol and you got my curiosity up. I did a search, and came up with an article I thought (and still think) was relevant to the discussion.
Whether the rape allegation proves true or false, this situation was problematic. I wouldn’t expect the governor to know about every problem in every school in the state, but before she publicly states there is no problem, I would expect her to make some effort to find out if that statement is true.
You do err in your analysis of the Governor of Disrepute.
She’s naive and easily swayed by opinions of others.
I live in SC, too. I will never vote for her again for anything.
Hello? She first endorsed Rubio. Only after Rubio dropped out and after the SC primary, then she endorsed Cruz.
I'm also curious to what happened with Trey Gowdy? He was another rising star and now it appears he's had enough and isn't seeking reelection.
