First, if the states are already accepting funds for agreed-upon purposes, it is coercive and unconstitutional to withdraw all the funding by adding new provisions.
Second, it is Congress, and not the President, who sets the purposes of the funding. Obama cannot add new spending requirements on his own and then withhold the funding for non-compliance.
So the SCOTUS ruling on the Medicare expansion of Obamacare should be precedent to stop Obama from using federal funding supplements to schools to coerce them into accepting new bathroom political policies.

It’s an arguable point, bit it will never get to that.
School districts will ignore it on-mass. Some will shrink before it, but those will be the Dem-Lib areas, and that will only PO the middle of the road voters there.
Obama has given Conservative America a Godsend in this mandate. It is the first “good thing” he has done for Conservatives in 8 years.
In MOR states, he has given us a huge wedge issue in the general election.
Can you imagine asking a MOR swing voter: “You say there is no difference between Rs and Ds???? They want to let 9th grade perverts take pictures of naked little girls in their PE shower and post them on the internet. We don’t. Is that enough of a difference for you?”
This will move 80 electoral votes and 30 House seats in November.
