‘He’s Not A King’ – Texas Governor Will Fight Obama Transgender/School Bathroom Edict

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Image source: White House

The Obama administration issued a landmark directive Friday that will force the nation’s public schools and colleges to allow transgender students to use whichever restroom and locker room they wish – a move that critics say is an unprecedented infringement upon privacy and local control.

The move impacts all schools that receive federal funding — including kindergarten grades — and threatens them with loss of funds if they fail to act accordingly.

The letter does not have the force of law, but because of its ties to public funding, most schools likely will fall in line.

The letter from officials within the Departments of Justice and Education will thrust an issue that had been mostly confined to a few cities and states into all 50 states, and potentially could become an election issue.

The departments say that Title IX, which was passed in 1972 and prohibits sexual discrimination, also allows boys and girls to use whichever restroom they wish.

“A school may not require transgender students to use facilities inconsistent with their gender identity or to use individual-user facilities when other students are not required to do so,” the letter reads.

Additionally, a school’s obligation “to ensure nondiscrimination on the basis of sex requires schools to provide transgender students equal access to educational programs and activities even in circumstances in which other students, parents, or community members raise objections or concerns,” the letter states. “As is consistently recognized in civil rights cases, the desire to accommodate others’ discomfort cannot justify a policy that singles out and disadvantages a particular class of students.”

But critics in more conservative parts of the country said the Obama administration is wrong.

“I announced today that Texas is fighting this,” Texas Governor Greg Abbott, a Republican, wrote on Twitter. “Obama can’t rewrite the Civil Rights Act. He’s not a King.”

Senator Ben Sasse, a Republican from Nebraska, tweeted, “Is there any issue the Obama Administration believes can be left to state and local government?”

        Only difference between the Kenyan Clown and God is that God doesn’t think He’s the Kenyan Clown. The Mulatto Muslim is about to be told to go Shtup himself by Texas and a few other states where they have some real Testicular Fortitude and a few Federal judges that he can’t intimidate.

        This is the culmination of destroying moral standards for an “anything goes” society. Back in the 60′s there was a catch phrase, “Do your own thing.” God calls it man doing what is right in his own eyes…relativism. Since there is no moral standard as a criteria to judge actions against, then anything you feel like doing that personally makes YOU feel good, or right, or accepted, is perfectly OK.

        Also, since when did “hate” become a 100% bad feeling? The mushy Christian church of today who should be up in arms over the degradation of our society can only profess that God is Love. I “hate” to tell you this, but God despises what is happening and soon His hate for man’s rejection of His moral standards will lead to wrath unleashed. God may sit quietly for a time hoping that man will repent of his evil machinations, but there will come a day when judgment will come upon this Earth.

        God’s wrath is currently beating against the dam of his mercy and when that breaks it will not be pretty. In the mean time, the resurrection of Sodom and Gomorrah continues unabated.

      What else would one expect coming from a person with an uncivilized, third-world mind?

    • TRUCKERM

      Just who does this narcissist think he is?! Obama/soetoro is not even a US citizen and thinks he can just bark orders at America like a rabid hyena?! Just tell him/it NO!! Let these perverts threaten to with hold fed funding. These child molesting predatory pedophiles dare use our money as leverage?! About time We The People with hold our money from these pervs and not allow this garbage! Never in history has America ever tolerated an administration that was so filthy!! We would think these beuraeucrates have better things to do than fiddle with our bathrooms and fixate on everyones genitals!!! FILTHY PERVERTS ALL OF THEM!! :mad:

      I always wanted to see the girls bathroom .

      Not a good place to meet them .

      I hope Kansas sides with Texas!!!!! Come on states….tell him to take a flying leap…..!!!!!

    • Man

      what is the issue here? how many transgender kids are there? and are they raping girls?

      • moochie2

        Adults also use bathrooms in schools.

      • DISPENSER

        ANYBODY can claim to be transgender.(as if that is a thing) Pedophiles, rapist, amateur porn makers, and all would be allowed in the bathroom, and locker room, showers of the opposite sex. Does the light of reason begin to penetrate?

      • Damien

        Possibly snapping at anyone not praying for the Lord to cure them of their puffy eye bags and 2 day stubble (rather than face cancer say).

        • Man

          So transgenders rape more that gays raping straight guys in the barthroom?

          When did this ever happen in school?

          it isn’t like Transgender people never existed before 2016

          • Damien

            I meant snapping in the micro-aggressive moaning sense.

            I don’t think that it’s so much where were they before 2016 but WHERE are / were they before public bathrooms?! WTF?!

            Cafes, public transport, streets they will be walking down to get to the toilets of course not being fleeting enclosed ‘emergency’ spaces. Nope. Nothing.
            Maybe it IS the beards that I have been misunderstanding.

            What exactly is to be avoided about genderless bathrooms? All single person bathrooms and home bathrooms are already genderless.

            And where have all the other physically dysmorphic people been being locked away?

              Of course genderless bathrooms wouldn’t be as encouraging of peoples potential physical dysmorphia as genderqueer bathrooms. :???:

      DO NOT COMPLY to this sodomite’s directive. First of all the sodomite is a usurper and so are the 535 Congressmen that support the kenyan sodomite.

      They are wanting to flood the land with foreign sexual practices on your nation. The kind forbidden in the Bible. We are not to be like nations around us that practice demon sex.

      This kenyan want to demonize this whole nation with his sodomy.

    • Deputy Dawg

      Well, let’s see where should I begin? First of all it will take more than the president spewing this proclamation to make this a reality. The executive order does not constitute law. The law however is very clear in every single state in America that if a male dresses up like a female then enters a woman’s restroom facility where his penis is then exposed a sexual crime has been committed.

      Nobody voted to allow this perversion in our communities. They didn’t put it up to a vote because they knew darn well the outcome would not be favorable for those attempting to ram this malarkey down our throats. Honestly I could not just stand there and be a spectator should a man, I don’t give a rats behind what he dressed up as, enter the restroom with a female child. I will do a responsive extraction. They want attention they’ll have mine.

      The truth is I don’t care what folks do in the privacy of their homes, it’s none of my business. Frankly what they do in secret is between them and Yahweh. I have a number of friends I met at work who are gay. I don’t judge them but they don’t make me live their lifestyle either. Just like I don’t market my sexuality to others I demand the same respect. It does not have to be an issue, but it sure can become one in a hurry.

      I SEE THIS AS A CALCULATED PROVOCATION INTENDING TO STIR DISSENT AND IDENTIFY OBJECTORS. THE PRESIDENT CANNOT WITHHOLD FEDERAL FUNDS ALLOCATED FOR EDUCATIONAL PROGRAMS WHOSE BUDGETS ARE SIGNED INTO LAW BY THE LEGISLATIVE BRANCH.

    • holeshot

      Too bad the Congress and the Supreme court (especially the blackmailed John Roberts) haven’t gotten that message yet.

    • holeshot

      Wonder if all the 17 year old boys will get to share the girls room with Sasha and Malia at Sidwell Friends School ? Anybody want to go to the girls room with Moochelle and find out what is REALLY betwixt those thighs ? ARRRRRRGHHHHH !!!!! Maybe she just needs the old “Crocodile Dundee Style” check.

      I promise you….the US Capitol building will soon be required to install ”transgender” toilet rooms.

      All the other Federal buildings across the US will also be required to add TG toilets to ALL of their many thousands of buildings nationwide. The cost? Obama could care less what it will cost….$$billions$$ no doubt. To Obama, public money is like Charmin.

      Will single-sex toilets become a thing of the past? Will weak kneed states fall in-line and totally succumb to this madness?

      Has the USA become Mondo Cane on steroids?

    • freakneck

      You know, most think a “transgendered” woman, born a man but acting like a woman…1) dresses like woman all the time…2) is hot – like the tranny’s on the Maury Show’s “Is she a boy or girl” shows, and 3) was gay before they “transformed”.

      If you do ANY research at all, you’ll find this isn’t the case.

      The legal definition of “Transgendered” has not been decided. You can be “transgendered” w/o dressing as the opposite sex. Most “trans” women AREN’T superhot tranny’s….and the big one…just because you’re a “trans” woman, born a man but now “feel like” a woman, that has no correlation with your sexual preference. In fact, while researching this, because I never make comments about anything I don’t research…well here….this is a link to a tranny website forum, and the question is, how many tranny’s are lesbians, meaning, how many trans women (born a man, but now feel like and/or dressing as a woman) still prefer woman sexually….

      http://www.samesame.com.au/forum/showthread.php?t=28370

      …and answera to this question are…

      …”I think about half the trans women I know are lesbian”…and…

      …”hi im new on here but I finally came out to my girlfriend of 6 years that I am transgender.
      I said that Im not interested in guys just girls and she always knew something different about me”…and…

      …”Yeah, hon. A lot of people gay or straight can’t separate gender and sexuality. If your born in the body of a male and have the mind and soul of a woman then you MUST be interested in men.

      For some people, just getting their head around the whole gender thing is too much to cope with let alone throwing sexuality into the mix.”…

      So….for all those women out there that say they are fine with a trans woman sharing a bathroom with them, is it still okay if potentially 1/2 of those “trans” woman are checking you out and would like to have sex with you?

      Normally, I poo-poo on all the BS conspiracy theory stories here. But with this topic, I kind of agree.

      • DISPENSER

        In what world do most think trangender anything is hot????
        No amount of hormones, surgery, make up, or photo shopping will turn a man into a woman, or a woman into a man.
        It just creates mutilated, and very sick men, and women who approximate the opposite sex.

    • JKnTX

      Best ask George Wallace how that turned out.
      The anti-segregation laws and edicts are now being twisted and employed as tools to further erode and destabilize the society which allowed them to be inflicted upon itself.
      The next domino?
      The women wanted to be equal and wanted equal pay for equal work? Next they will be drafted and sent into combat enmass to blown to bits, or come back mutilated and disfigured just as so many men have. Watch it happen guys and gals.
      The end result is the enemy wins without having to fire a shot.

      • JKnTX

        Whoopsie, missed a “be” there! But you all get the idea.

      He’s not even a half-assed president. And BIN? All your ADS SUCK.

    • FACTCHECK

      Their argument is completely twisted. Obama claims we cannot allow bias or discomfort to cause us to violate the rights of an individual, but he would alienate and make uncomfortable 99.999% of students. How is that democratic? The Civil Rights acts and laws pertain specifically to “large” classes of people singled out because of their race, religion, beliefs or conditions. A single person with a psychological issue which confuses their “gender identity” is not, in any form, protected under these rules and laws. You cannot inconvenience or take away the rights to safety and privacy of every normal male and female student due to the mental problems of a single person. This is an abomination of the Civil Rights laws and a slap in the face to all those who have been truly discriminated against in the past. This man in the White House has lost his f*cking mind. And anyone who rolls with this crap is also insane. Enough is enough. He cannot legislate. That is not within the confines of his authority. He also has no authority over money. That lies with the Congress of this nation. He does not have the authority to interpret laws…that is the Supreme Court’s venue. Tyrants prey upon apathy. Stop letting him do these things. Go Abbot!

      The Sodomite and his homosexual He/She Wife are doing everything they can to Destroy America. I cannot believe the Congress will not arrest him for his lawleness. He is a Kenyan that is not even egible to be President. :evil:

      • Man

        you do know that there are transmen…. do you think the former women are raping the boys?

        • Damien

          A few powerful political activists are enforcing people being grouped together according to masculinity (how macho) and femininity (how effeminate) instead of their being just male or female regardless of HOW ‘macho’ or ‘effeminate’ they are. Very possibly towards an increasingly polarized culture … butch gays for example.

      Unless the States ban together to resist our despot President, he will do as he pleases and govern as King, and it will be no one’s fault but our own. I AM surprised at the lack of resistance but the States and by Congress to this President’s agenda, especially with the safety of our children and our women at stake. Have we become so depraved that we cannot recognize something so evil and wrong as what he is forcing on America? Or have we become so dependent on the federal government that resistance is futile?

    • Dave 1963

      LOL! Like the federal government that couldn’t get food and water to the Super Dome after Katrina, can enforce a bathroom law.

      Why doesn’t congress impeach him for extortion? He’s threatened to illegally withhold earmarked funds.

      Obama and gays should probably stop at the gay marriage thing. I predict he has just awakened a sleeping giant. And history has shown that pissed off Christians can act decidedly Unchristian if you push them too far.

    • holeshot

      Don’t blame the Kenyan Clown for doing what comes naturally to all Third World Despots. Blame Boehner, Ryan, Pelosi, Reid, Mc Connell, and the dumbed down American voter. We are getting EXACTLY the fundamental change we voted for — TWICE !!
