Obama administration to issue guidance on transgender bathrooms By Emanuella Grinberg (CNN) The Obama administration will issue guidance on Friday directing schools to allow transgender students to use bathrooms matching their gender identity. A joint letter from the U.S. Departments of Education and Justice will provide educators with information "to ensure that all students, including transgender students, can attend school in an environment free from discrimination based on sex," the Obama administration said on Thursday. The announcement comes amid heated debate over transgender rights in schools and public life. It also comes on the heels of the administration's legal standoff with North Carolina over transgender rights. "There is no room in our schools for discrimination of any kind, including discrimination against transgender students on the basis of their sex," Attorney General Loretta Lynch said. "This guidance gives administrators, teachers and parents the tools they need to protect transgender students from peer harassment and to identify and address unjust school policies." The directive is not law but the message was clear: Fall in line or face loss of federal funding. Justice and Education Department officials have repeatedly made clear that under their interpretation of Title IX, the federal anti-discrimination law in education, schools receiving federal money may not discriminate based on a student's sex, including a student's transgender status. "The guidance makes clear that both federal agencies treat a student's gender identity as the student's sex for purposes of enforcing Title IX," the administration said Thursday. "No student should ever have to go through the experience of feeling unwelcome at school or on a college campus, said U.S. Secretary of Education John B. King Jr. "This guidance further clarifies what we've said repeatedly -- that gender identity is protected under Title IX. Educators want to do the right thing for students, and many have reached out to us for guidance on how to follow the law. We must ensure that our young people know that whoever they are or wherever they come from, they have the opportunity to get a great education in an environment free from discrimination, harassment and violence." CNN Kevin Liptak contributed to this report.

http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories/U/US_LGBT_RIGHTS_WHITE_HOUSE_NCOL-?SITE=AP&SECTION=HOME&TEMPLATE=DEFAULT US gives directive to schools on transgender bathroom access By ERIC TUCKER WASHINGTON (AP) -- Public schools must permit transgender students to use bathrooms and locker rooms consistent with their chosen gender identity, according to an Obama administration directive issued amid a court fight between the federal government and North Carolina. The guidance from leaders at the departments of Education and Justice says public schools are obligated to treat transgender students in a way that matches their gender identity, even if their education records or identity documents indicate a different sex.

Just another effort by Obunghole on his way out, to eff up the country. God I will be glad when this ahole & his band of miscreants are gone. Si vis pacem, para bellum Those who beat their swords into plowshares will plow for those who don't Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God. There are no Carthaginian terrorists. President Obama is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people. --Clint Eastwood "I am concerned for the security of our great nation; not so much because of any threat from without, but because of the insidious forces working from within." -- General Douglas MacArthur
This faggot President shouldn't be allowed anywhere near a school. I bet he'd be a real hit at Interstate rest stops, though. Obama has played at being a president while enjoying the perks … golf, insanely expensive vacations at tax-payer expense. He has ignored the responsibilities of the job; no plans, no budgets, no alternatives … just finger pointing; making him a complete failure as a president
Probably already done that. Thats why his records are sealed. I wonder what kind of shit this asshole is going to pull next? How far will the American public allow him to push us? Is there no end to the public's tolerance? Si vis pacem, para bellum Those who beat their swords into plowshares will plow for those who don't Rebellion to tyrants is obedience to God. There are no Carthaginian terrorists.

Resident Obama should thank Donald Trump for his pioneer transgender bathrooms experiments with Ruby Giuliani and Caitlyn Jenner. Obongo couldn't have done it without the Log Cabin Republicans, Romney, and Trump. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZngGIw5ONWE
Oh, miserable mortals! Oh wretched earth! Oh, dreadful assembly of all mankind! Eternal sermon of useless sufferings! Deluded philosophers who cry, “All is well,” Hasten, contemplate these frightful ruins, (Voltaire)
You now, I have to wonder WHY? Why is he pushing this issue? Is this just another way for the Pervert In Chief to piss in Americas face, or is it a distraction from something else he is doing, or does not want us to notice ?

That's to ensure Manchelle has a place to go pee when they finally get thrown out of the White Hut... Vegetarians eat vegetables. Beware of humanitarians!
