Texas school boards are being pressured to adopt policies giving transgender students the right to use preferred pronouns, school bathrooms, locker rooms, and showers, according to conservatives who feel schools are stepping on parental rights.

The Texas American Civil Liberties Union presented a “best practices” program on transgender student legal issues based on Biden’s Department of Education interpretation during a convention on Sept. 24 in San Antonio.
The Texas Association of School Administrators and Texas Association of School Boards 2022 convention included speakers and training for Texas school officials. The ACLU, a liberal civil rights group, titled their program: “Transgender Students in Texas Schools: What You Need to Know.”
ACLU attorneys gave a presentation at the convention that included transgender students speaking directly to officials on “challenges” in schools with restrooms, sports, dress codes, pronouns, and bullying.

David Hamilton, a board member at Fort Bend Independent School Board who attended the ACLU presentation, posted on Twitter that the union was “trying to force Texas public schools to allow boys in girls’ locker rooms, showers, restrooms, and athletics.”
“They had a biological girl who IDs as a boy speak because that appeals better,” his post continued.
When contacted by The Epoch Times, Hamilton said he viewed the ACLU presentation as a warning that schools must accommodate transgender student rights or face lawsuits from it or other liberal groups.
The ACLU did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Texas state Rep. Steve Toth (R-Woodlands) agreed there was a concerted effort to push schools to accept the Biden administrations’ interpretation of Title IX as law. But part of the problem lies with the trustees who don’t question what they’re told, he said.
“There’s no way this isn’t coordinated,” he said. “We’re hearing this in all 50 states.”
“If they put this into place, they’re violating the law,” said Toth, who intends to introduce legislation in 2023 to protect students from sexualization at school.
Title IX, according to the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights, now permits students to use restrooms, locker rooms, and compete on sports teams based on their gender identity instead of their biological sex.
Biden issued an executive order after a June 2020 landmark decision by the U.S. Supreme Court that expanded the legal definition of sex discrimination to include sexual orientation and gender identity in employment situations.
The Department of Education and EEOC issued “guidance” in June 2021 prohibiting such discrimination and promising enforcement action against violators, including the loss of federal funding for schools.
However, the Biden administration’s push to enforcing the executive order designed to protect the LGBT community from discrimination in schools and the workplace was blocked by a Tennessee federal judge in July, while a legal challenge launched by 22 attorneys general, including Texas, is making its way through the court system.

Its not acceptance its imposition of transgenderism. Don’t fall for their games.
Let’s keep in mind that for whatever reason, many Antifa members are Transgender. Talk about a Perfect Storm!
This silly crap needs to be squashed NOW. It’s already past the point of being out of control, if it gets any crazier half the schoolkids out there will be castrated before they graduate high school.
It’s not fear - it’s WRONG
Why do conservatives ‘fear’? Exactly what are they afraid of? If you are fearful of evil, then evil will win. These people are mere insects at our feet. We don’t need to take off our shoes and courteously walk around them. We need to crush them under our heel.
Right.
Remember when the majority of states labriously did petition procedures and voted “one man one woman marriage” as the standard allowed.
Then the SCOTUS blew it by allowing same sex “marriage.”
The secret plan was then put in motion.
It was NOT simply allowing loving gays to marry other gays. It was to denigrate normal marriage and worse, to deliberately target bakers and others who were Christians and did not want to be forced to do blasphemous satanic cakes, but then were ganged up upon by lawsuits each charging them $4-5,000 or more in fines for violating “gay marriage rights” as civil rights violations. Set up that way in advance. Injured parties were waiting to sue.

The goal is the “normalization” of a Whitman’s Sampler of perversions.
Yes, including pedos...
Liberals want their children (and everyone else’s) exposed to every perversion known to man.
If NAMBLA wins does that mean the lawsuits against the BSA are moot?
Prolly...
Most liberals’ worldview is one of moral relativism, so exposing children to everything from Puritanism to Satanism fits their philosophy of “let the children make up their own minds”.
The ideological leftists would like those minds to be made up in one particular direction....and it is not toward Puritanism!
That first view is pathetically ignorant. The second one is patently evil.
Tampa, Florida woman and her young daughter run screaming from a Home Depot after using the women’s rest room and finding a Home Depot obvious male employee in an orange apron dressed in a lacy crop top and fishnet stockings using the facility right along with them. Assistant Store Manager told the mother sorry there was nothing they could do about it.
What Home Depot?
It’s time for the ultimate protest... Walk out of these propaganda mills so they don’t make a penny off your kids.
Yep- let them pay for their own sports teams so girls/women aren’t affected or punished by a hairy man who steals their sports from them because they can’t make it as a man competing against men.
Predatory Rats
There they go again, spinning their delusional views into “fear” from the opposition. It’s not about fear … it’s about what’s right.
