Appeals court sides with transgender student in Wis. school bathroom case
Washington Post ^ | May 30, 2017

Posted on 05/30/2017 6:07:39 PM PDT by SMGFan

A federal appeals court Tuesday issued a decision that could have far-reaching implications for transgender students, siding with a transgender boy whose Wisconsin school district had sought to bar him from the boys’ bathroom to protect the privacy of other students.

High school senior Ash Whitaker sued Kenosha Unified School District No. 1 last summer, arguing that its bathroom policy violated his civil rights. In a unanimous decision, a three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit upheld a preliminary injunction that temporarily stops the district from enforcing that policy while the case is tried.

Of course, there will be no abuse of transgenders in a woman's bathroom:

“the Trump administration has argued that decisions about accommodations for transgender students should be left to states and local school districts.”

President Trump is correct as this issue should be decided by local districts and each state and the federal courts should remain silent on the matter as this has nothing to do with Title IX or the EPC.

Some girl who thinks she is a boy wants to use the urinals? The answer is no.

The federal court can cram it.

This madness is the result of Obama policies. If Trump policies can’t put a stop to this total insanity, then he will be unable to do ANYTHING - and the Left knows that very well.

“If Trump policies can’t put a stop to this total insanity...”

According to the article, Trump’s policy is that this is a local and state issue.

She is a girl. Live in reality!

Congress can pass a simple law taking this whole question out of the jurisdiction of the federal courts.

If this "dudes in the ladies' room" stuff had existed when I was 19,very naive.awkward with girls and full of testosterone,I cannot guarantee that I never would have followed a good looking woman into the ladies' room.

One thing I can promise though is that I never would have done anything worse than a quick peek....which is bad but not as bad as it could have been.

“Congress can pass a simple law taking this whole question out of the jurisdiction of the federal courts.”

Under what provision of the Constitution would Congress pass a law on transgendered bathrooms?

You know, I’d really like to express my true thoughts about these reprobate “judges” - but doing so would likely get me banned from FR! These decisions are causing my teeth to crack from grinding them so often!

This is the set up the left will use to get the whole issue. A girl choosing to use the boys bathroom. It’s the least egregious on the scale. Once they get this precident we will have 13 year old girls will be forced to share locker rooms and showers naked dudes.

Under what provision of the Constitution would Congress pass a law on transgendered bathrooms?

Article I, Section 8, Clause 9:

[The Congress shall have Power] To constitute Tribunals inferior to the supreme Court.
Article II, Section 1:
The judicial Power of the United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the Congress may from time to time ordain and establish.
Article III, Section 2:
In all the other Cases before mentioned, the supreme Court shall have appellateJurisdiction, both as to Law and Fact, with such Exceptions, and under such Regulations as the Congress shall make.
The jurisdiction of the federal courts are subject to the regulation of Congress. Congress can pass a simple law stating that classes of cases (other than those described in the Constitution) do not fall under the jurisdiction of the courts.

I only go to Target to buy cat litter. For some reason, they have the best price in town. But I’d like to get a tee shirt that says, “I’m only here to use the Ladies Restroom.”

A civil right to look at peepees that she’ll never really have? That is insanity. All of the parents of boys should sue them right back and take their kids out of a school that would force this perversion on them.

Or why can’t you self-identify as a Supreme Court justice and overrule their stupidity, if reality is based on one’s feelings?

Ha! Liked they stopped homo marriage and states enacting their own abortion restrictions? Restrictions that were legal for states to do under R v W.
