Threatened lawsuit? ‘Requiring false pronoun usage by teachers is a compelled speech violation’

President Trump’s Department of Education won’t necessarily open an investigation of a school that refuses to let students use the bathroom or locker room that matches their gender identity.

Dishonest title.

Obama holdovers in the Department of Education are strongly pushing the transgender agenda.

Trump needs to put an end to it.

What's your timeframe on that? How long until he owns it?

Annoyingly, I think DeVos is on board with all this cr@p. Can't blame Obama. She (and by extension Trump) owns it now.

RE:”Acting Office for Civil Rights chief Candice Jackson released “Instructions to the Field” regarding complaints by transgender students that say failure to call transgender students by the names and pronouns they request is “gender-based harassment.”
It qualified this statement, however, by saying OCR has jurisdiction to investigate only “when the school uses preferred names for gender-conforming students or when the refusal is motivated by animus toward people who do not conform to sex stereotypes.”
Such behavior also must create “a hostile environment.” The instructions, dated June 6, aren’t clear whether students who refuse to call transgender peers by their preferred names and pronouns – perhaps simply declining to use pronouns at all – could be grounds for an OCR probe.”

Lyndon Johnson and Martin Luther King never told us that discrimination laws would lead to this.

Candice Jackson was picked by DeVos who was picked by Trump.

#3: "It’s Trump’s dept of education now."

Exactly. President Trump is the best we've had since Ronald Reagan. But the devil is the details. They don't call it the Deep State for nothing. Heads must roll.

The proper response to those “complaints” is: “Pound sand, ya perverted FREAK!!!”

Obama put that Nambla member in charge of education. They need to weed out everyone hired under him, and exorcise anything he touched.

The country rushes forward into repressive fascism, and no one is trying to stop it.
Don’t talk about “land of the free” any more, please.

Heck, I got suspended for violating the dress code with hair over my ears. Imagine if I came to school in a dress and high heels?

Satan is playing practical jokes on us.

Reporting on Trump’s transgender bathroom reversal has been deeply ignorant at best

She’s a lawyer.

I wouldn’t touch her with a 10 foot pole.

Not even with my worst enemy’s 10 foot pole.

Any number of time in all sorts of large organizations you will find somebody way down the pyramid who is pushing their own agenda as the CEO’s words.

Other than Comey, no heads have rolled anywhere yet. Still waiting for that swamp level to go down even a bit.

Exactly. The left understands incrementalism it’s something conservatives don’t understand. I get we’ve been lied to so much so if we don’t see things happening all at once we get a little bit shaky but give it time it’s onky been five months.

Fire 'em all, and only replace about a third of them; phase out the entire department over the next 3 years.
