6 States Whose Leaders Are Giving a Big Ol’ Middle Finger to Obama’s ‘Gender-Neutral Bathroom’ Order   May 16, 2016

 

The ink was barely dry on President Obama’s guidance regarding gender-neutral bathrooms – the administration told U.S. public schools on Friday to let transgender students use bathrooms and locker rooms according to gender identity – when opposing voices started shouting.

   And at least 7 of those voices in 6 states—so far—belonged to high-ranking state officials, beginning with North Carolina, where HB2 brought the controversy to the forefront:

North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory (R)
– Says the U.S. Justice Department is displaying “overreach” by warning legal action and withholding federal funds unless HB2—which limits bathroom/locker room use to the gender on an individual’s birth certificate—is scrapped.

Texas Governor Greg Abbott (R)

– Has declared that he will be working closely with North Carolina’s governor in opposing the federal guideline.

Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick (R)
– Has stated that Texas does not want any “dirty money” tied to policies that amount to extortion:

Arkansas Governor Asa Hutchinson (R)
– Advised schools in his state to ignore the guidance:

Alabama Attorney General Luther Strange (R)
– Says the issue should be decided by parents, teachers, and principals—not by federal bureaucrats.

Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin (R)

– Released a statement saying that the federal government had no authority to interfere in local school districts’ bathroom policies.

Missouri Lieutenant Governor Peter Kinder (R)
– Released a statement saying that Obama was abusing his power, and that America needs guidance and prayer.
