The Obama administration was shut down yesterday on a policy that has people shaking their heads, which means the American people came out on top.
Nearly two weeks ago Texas and 12 other states requested for a federal judge to put a stop to Obama’s transgender bathroom order.
The judge agreed…
From Bloomberg:
The Obama administration was barred by a judge from enforcing a directive that U.S. public schools allow transgender students to use bathrooms and locker rooms according to their gender identity.
A federal judge in Fort Worth, Texas, on Sunday sided with Texas and 12 other states that argued the administration’s policy usurps local control and threatens students’ safety and privacy.
The use of public bathrooms and locker rooms by transgender people has become the latest front in civil rights struggles between social conservatives and the administration following battles over same-sex marriage and military service by openly gay members of the armed forces in which President Barack Obama has sided with gay-rights advocates.
The ruling by U.S. District Judge Reed O’Connor comes after the U.S. Supreme Court on Aug 3 temporarily blocked an order that would let a transgender student use the boys’ bathrooms during his senior year at a Virginia high school.
In that case, the justices granted a request from the Gloucester County school board, which said the lower court order would have caused “severe disruption” when school started in September and likely prompted parents to transfer their children to other institutions. The district said boys’ restrooms were reserved for students who were “biological” males.
This isn’t about discrimination, this is about safety. This is nothing more than Obama trying to push an agenda through to disrupt the very family social contract of America. He is perverting the very fabric to what makes our country great. Let’s hope that this will be upheld.
