Great job America,
You elected this f-ing ass clown, twice.
Now live with what you wrought, dumb asses.

You over you damn slave guilt, yet?

When you elect a perverted queer to govern don’t be surprised to find he governs like a perverted queer.

Obama is like the insufferable black and brown skinned idiots who drive slowly through your neighborhood with their boom box car speakers blaring out indecipherable ghetto trash loud enough to make your fillings buzz.

They are determined to irritate you by forcing their “culture” on you, knowing you don’t like it.

With the boom box idiot, he has the power to force his music on you.

With militant queers in positions of power and influence, it’s their sexual perversion they force on you.

Good points. I think there is a difference between Disney and Target though.

I think the Target boycott has a much better chance of working.

Miami’s local news is reporting that Obama says schools that refuse to obey will face lawsuits and/or loss of federal funds.

““defending transgender rights” I didn’t know such rights existed in either God’s laws or the US Constitution. But I do know there is a woman’s right to privacy and these WDC mandates are denying these rights - an affront to all women. Women of America rise up in defiance.

A halfway competent lawyer can make mincemeat of this. Transgender advocates claim that gender <> sex. It that is true, then the civil rights protections based on sex can’t apply to gender. Either sex=gender or sex <>gender.

Worse yet, it is a joint directive from DoJ and DoE.

The Civil Rights Act is the sole basis for federal authority in the gay wedding cake BS, the disparate impact ruling, and this case of providing public accommodation for a new protected class of the sexually confused, and will only spread as more “protected classes” are interpreted after the fact, as has been happening since the day it was signed. Like it or not, that law granted the federal government a tremendous amount of power and destroyed the right of free association. Only way to turn back this beast is to repeal it, which is pretty unlikely.

yea well if you think people will in their million take their kids out of the school system then I suggest you think about another plan.

Going to your school district, meetings, check up on teachers and make them all accountable is more sane and in the real world than thinking millions will take their kids out of the school.

WASHINGTON — The Obama administration is planning to issue a sweeping directive telling every public school district in the country to allow transspecies students to use the litter boxes and fire hydrants that match their species identity.

A letter to school districts will go out Friday, adding to a highly charged debate over transspecies rights in the middle of the administration’s legal fight with North Carolina over the issue. The declaration — signed by Ministry of Truth officials — will describe what schools should do to ensure that none of their students are discriminated against.

. . .

The move is certain to draw fresh criticism, particularly from Republicans, that the federal government is wading into local matters and imposing its own values on communities across the country that may not agree. It represents the latest example of the Obama administration using a combination of policies, lawsuits and public statements to change the civil rights landscape for puppy-identity, kitty-identity, and other transspecies individuals.

After supporting the rights of transspecies people to lift their legs at trees in the park, allowing them to serve as guard dogs in the military and prohibiting federal contractors from discriminating against them, the administration is wading into the battle over bathrooms and siding with transspecies individuals.

“No student should ever have to go through the experience of feeling unwelcome at school or on a college campus,” Snoopy Schulz, the secretary of the Ministry of Truth, said in a statement. “We must ensure that our puppies and kittens know that whoever they are or wherever they come from, they have the opportunity to get a great obedience school experience in an environment free from discrimination, harassment and violence.”

. . .

“A school may not require transspecies students to use facilities inconsistent with their species identity or to use individual-user facilities when other students are not required to do so,” according to the letter, a copy of which was provided to The New York Times.

A school’s obligation under federal law “to ensure nondiscrimination on the basis of species-identity requires schools to provide transspecies 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.”

As soon as a child’s parent or legal guardian asserts a species identity for the student that “differs from previous representations or records,” the letter says, the individual is to be treated accordingly — without any requirement for a medical diagnosis, AKC papers, or birth certificate to be produced. It says that schools may — but are not required to — provide other restroom, locker room, and litter box options to students who seek “additional privacy” for whatever reason.

This is a complete overreach by Obama.

He has no authority to mandate this under the present law.

The law defines gender as biological sex.

That is how Congress defined it.

Obama cannot redefine terms on his own say so.

Governors have to refuse to allow any of this to be enforced, and to rigorously defend any school district that is sued by the Feds, as that is step #2.

And if the Feds withhold the education funding approved by congress, then withhold the gasoline tax receipts from the Feds and give it to the schools.

Two can play this game.

We are embracing diversity like never before. Obama promised change, and the combination of tyranny with insanity is certainly a change.

their gender identity.

The answer to your gender identity is never in doubt. It lies between your legs.
