The Obama Administration has dropped another Dear Colleague letter on American schools. Any school that accepts federal funding must submit to federal rules on transgender students.
The Department of Justice, together with the Department of Education, published the guidelines on Friday, which are based on Title IX. Title IX says that you can't discriminate on the basis of sex. On Friday, the DOJ stated that this "prohibition encompasses discrimination based on a student’s gender identity."
This is pure circular reasoning.
A person's gender identity may not match their sex. A person's sex is perfectly binary, either male or female. A person's gender identity is an infinite continuum. Facebook lists fifty-eight different gender identities. The very premise of the new guidance is flawed. So flawed that it will likely be tried in the courts.
Hopefully we will witness the spectacle of a governor calling in the National Guard to blockade a women's restroom. Then the President could call in the 101st Airborne to escort a trans-fag she-male cross-dresser in to let xir take a dump.
Otherwise this is all just a very annoying sideshow. The only reason I'm taking any side at all is the utter contempt I have for the people pushing this on us.
Just ask yourself whether you want this person telling you how to run your local school district. Nothing personal against her, but she sits in an office in Washington, D.C., and thinks she knows what's best for your kid. The best thing in the world would be to disband the Department of Education, and scrape off all the barnacles that cling to the ship of state. Then bulldoze the building and salt the earth, so no federal bureaucracy ever grows there again.
Why does anybody think some civil servant like her acts in the best interest of anything but her cadre?
There is a similar argument being played out right now in England. Next month they are going to vote whether to stay in the European Union. The question is whether British citizens will consent to being governed by un-elected EU functionaries instead of their own sovereign government.
Those wishing to remain in the EU are resorting to scare tactics. Labor MP Harriet Harman said that "Brexit could derail the fight for women’s rights."
World Ends, Women, Minorities Hardest Hit.
Another twat, Christine Lagarde, the IMF managing director, has said that leaving the EU would be "pretty bad to very, very bad." When it comes to Brexit, people like Nigel Farage have it right. And when it comes to the federal government trying to impose its will on local school districts, Oklahoma Attorney General E. Scott Pruitt has it right. He responded to the Dear Colleague letter by writing,
"Please be advised that if you attempt to enforce this "significant guidance letter" on schools in
the State of Oklahoma, we will vigorously defend the State's interests."
