The Education Department Officially Says It Will Reject Transgender Student Bathroom Complaints
Buzz Feed ^ | February 12, 2018 | Dominic Holden

Posted on 02/12/2018 11:21:47 AM PST by Salman

The Education Department has told BuzzFeed News it won't investigate or take action on any complaints filed by transgender students who are banned from restrooms that match their gender identity, charting new ground in the Trump administration's year-long broadside against LGBT rights.

It’s the first time officials have asserted this position publicly as an interpretation of law. No formal announcement has been made.

For nearly a year, the Trump administration took a less clear stance, with officials saying they were studying the issue ...

Thank you for the additional clarification. I refrained from adding “piece of pig s**t (deliberate insult to his real religion)” only out of respect for pigs.

The gender identity bathroom deal died here because we have so many Muslim students. Muslim parents didn’t want their daughters sharing bathrooms with males.

Excuse me. I meant we need a keyword for transgender bathroom issues.

Less clear? Hasn’t Trump said all along he considers this mess a state issue?

It’s a definite win. And the Administration is not “against.” It is for all and what is best for all.

Thank you for referencing that article Salman. Please note that the following critique is directed at the article and not at you.

"The Education Department Officially Says It Will Reject Transgender Student Bathroom Complaints"

FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

While it is good that the Education Department is telling us conservatives what we want to hear, it remains that the states have never expressly constitutionally delegated to the unconstitutionally big federal government the specific power to decide policy of any kind for INTRAstate schools, the Education Department’s policy based on stolen state powers.

From related threads …

In fact, President Thomas Jefferson had officially clarified that the states would first need to amend the Constitution to give the feds the power to regulate, tax and spend for intrastate schooling purposes before the feds could do so, something that the states have never done.

"On a few articles of more general and necessary use, the suppression in due season will doubtless be right, but the great mass of the articles on which impost is paid is foreign luxuries, purchased by those only who are rich enough to afford themselves the use of them. Their patriotism would certainly prefer its continuance and application to the great purposes of the public education, roads, rivers, canals, and such other objects of public improvement as it may be thought proper to add to the constitutional enumeration of federal powers [emphases added]."—Thomas Jefferson : Sixth Annual Message to Congress

Also consider that a previous generation of state sovereignty-respecting Supreme Court justices had clarified that power not expressly constitutionally delegated to the feds are prohibited to the feds.

But what’s even worse about the Education Department using stolen state powers to make policy for intrastate schools is this imo.

Again, regardless that the constitutionally undefined Education Department is now telling conservatives what we want to hear (elections have consequences), the corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification Congress left over from the lawless Obama Administration will predictably not lift a finger to stop not only the ED, but also many other constitutionally undefined, non-elected federal officials from interfering with the affairs of the sovereign states.

The remedy …

Patriots are reminded that they need to finish the job that they started when they elected Trump president.

More specifically, patriots now need to be making sure that there are plenty of Trump-supporting, state sovereignty-respecting patriots on the 2018 primary ballots, and pink-slip career lawmakers by sending patriot candidate lawmakers to DC on election day.

And until the states wake up and repeal the ill-conceived 17th Amendment, as evidenced by concerns about the integrity of Alabama's special Senate election, patriot candidates need to win elections by a large enough margin to compensate for possible deep state ballot box fraud and associated MSM scare tactics.

The Holder JustUs department wouldn’t take any civil rights cases that involved discrimination against whites. So?

“...charting new ground in the Trump administration’s year-long broadside against LGBT rights.” WRONG! The issue in question is LGBT WHIMS trampling all over straight, normal RIGHTS. This clarification has been long overdue. Use the restroom that matches your personal “plumbing” at birth!

The recent outrageous restroom switcheroo by Walgreens would indicate to ME that their corporate top management are predominantly queer. I told my wife, I’ll never darken a Walgreens door again, if there is any competitor of theirs on the planet, that has what I need.

You left out “illegal alien, Kenyan-born, Indonesian citizen”. Other than that, you were right on top of it.

Your DNA is science,

How you self identify outside of your DNA is a psychological problem.

No such thing exists. Faggots have no special rights as faggots.

Yep. It gives us hope that other places will awaken as well . . . and put it back in the closet where it belongs.

They can make a good case for homo marriage when they start behaving like heterosexuals where 80% of women and 70% of men are faithful to their marriage partners.

And even among the minority who aren't, most count their affairs in the single digits, not the triple digits.

Most of us saw nothing wrong with giving them Civil Unions so they would have rights of inheritance, hospital visitation, etc. But, no, they had to f*** up the entire definition of marriage!
