And sharing a hotel room on an overnight field trips and college dorm roommates.

Both of which notifying the parents or the student is illegal.

Scott Walker’s in, the usual crowd is likely gathering in Madison now. He’s good at wearing them out and doing his best tightening up the money spigots.

Sue, nothing.

Ignore the directive and tell Obama to go piss up a rope.

He doesn’t have any authority to do anything on this.

I surprised that Nebraska has not joined in this. When 0bama delivered his edict on this, our governor (Pete Ricketts) advised the Nebraska school districts to ignore the proclamation.

They aren’t suing over the bathroom policy per se, they are suing to keep the money trough flowing if they do ignore it.

Texas, Oklahoma, Alabama, Wisconsin, West Virginia, Tennessee, Maine, ___????_____, Louisiana, Utah and Georgia.

There must be one other since Oklahoma is mentioned twice. Plus Maine and Wisconsin are reliably blue, they just have governors with cajones.

That’ll be brought up in court. Whether the judge agrees with letting men into women’s bathrooms or not, he surely can’t agree with a male rooming with a girl, or sharing locker rooms. I assume he’ll say it’s illegal. Guess lots of parents can sue.

Looks like Obama is going to help Turn WI red this election cycle... all the poisoning of the pool by the GOPe in their rush to stop Trump may have just been undone by Obama’s insane toiletries.

Unfortunately Pennsylvania did not join in because we have a jackass for a Governor.
