Across America, State Officials Are REBELLING Against Obama’s Transgender Bathroom Decree
The Daily Caller ^ | 5/19/16 | Mary Lou Lang-Byrd

Across America, local and state officials are pushing back very strongly against the Obama administration’s decree concerning transgender use of school bathrooms and locker rooms.

Pennsylvania lawmakers are the latest to criticize the Obama proclamation, which orders that schools “may not require transgender students to use facilities inconsistent with their gender identity or to use individual-user facilities when other students are not required to do so.”

Nearly 100 legislators in the state expressed their outrage in a letter to the president asking him to rescind the order immediately.

The Pennsylvania letter became widely disseminated on Wednesday. At roughly the same time, officials in Mississippi indicated that the Magnolia State will not follow the guidance issued by the Obama administration.

Carey Wright, superintendent of Mississippi’s Department of Education, said her office will take no action until the department’s nine members discuss the issue, according to local ABC affiliate WAPT.

Last week, a Texas school district superintendent also blasted Obama’s directive.

Note that the US Congress is still out looking for their cajones with both hands and a mirror and finding NADA.

You are correct this will cost the school districts bigtime if parents take rightful control and keep their children home. Parents will need to stand strong when the DPS threats start flying due to the “truancy.”

As well they should.

1st this is a state’s rights issue.

2nd this flies in the face of traditional American values and religious teaching and morality for the vast majority of Americans.

The idea that 10-15% of the country who espouse hard core progressive views, can force the mentally ill/perverted desires of .003% of the population on the rest of us is the very thing that should give rise to rebellion.

Thomas Jefferson taught about the Tree of Liberty needing to be watered every now and then. Well this is one that would bring that on.

“...welcome to head to parts North...”

We don’t like it up here (PA) any more than you do down South, brother.

This isn’t a North and South thing; this is a liberals versus Americans thing.

letter to the president asking him to rescind the order immediately

Screw that. Send a letter telling him to shove it, you don't run PA (or whatever state/city involved), we won't comply and if you send Feral Gubbmint agents to enforce it they will be arrested.

Set up Two porta-poties on the front lawns of the schools where everyone can see them, and label them TRANS ONLY! to keep them out of the boy’s and girl’s restrooms.

See how many tranies are willing to be seen publicly using them.

If I had a say in it, you would.

And with McAuliffe as your governor, I wouldn’t plan on seeing VA doing it anytime soon, either.

Is Ford's Theatre still open?

If their is a fiscal collapse and another depression I can see a lot of states breaking off and going their own way. Texas and a huge chunk of the plains states.

Secession is for the people of each state to decide on. If the people vote for secession the sitting governor has very little to say in the matter.

“..Texas and a huge chunk of the plains states...”

Texas, for sure. I could see - they’re the only ones that even brought the subject up.

“...If the people vote for secession the sitting governor has very little to say in the matter....”

If the last seven years are any indication of the level of outrage people are willing to put up with, I wouldn’t count on it.

IMO Trump is the last chance the USA has to stay intact. The union is pointless now. We give up too much freedom for no benefit what so ever.
