Lady Liberty 1885<\/a> (an amazing blogger) posted an article today about the latest legal actions regarding HB2 (North Carolina<\/a>‘s bathroom-locker room bill). Twenty-three states are now suing the federal government for its attempt to force schools to allow transgender<\/a> students to use the bathroom or shower facilities\u00a0based on \u2018gender identity\u2019 instead of biology. One of the problems with this federal overreach is that it can be taken advantage of by non-transgender people who have nefarious intentions.<\/p>\n

The article includes the following quote:<\/p>\n

Via Alliance Defending Freedom<\/a>:<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThe Obama administration<\/a> cannot unilaterally redefine federal law to serve its own political ends and lawlessly impose its will on local schools. Twenty-three states have now filed suit to stop this overreach, designed to force students to shower and undress in the same locker rooms and to share rooms on overnight trips with students of the opposite sex\u2014something they shouldn\u2019t ever be forced to do. The administration has exceeded its authority in threatening schools that choose to protect children\u2019s privacy. Nebraska Attorney General<\/a> Doug Peterson<\/a> and the growing number of states across the country who joined him in this lawsuit are to be commended for exercising common sense and defending the privacy and safety of children.<\/span>\u201d<\/em>

The article reports on North Carolina Governor<\/a> Pat McCrory<\/a>‘s efforts to defend HB2:<\/p>\n

A hearing has been set for August 1st at 10 a.m. in Winston-Salem by\u00a0U.S. District Judge<\/a> Thomas Schroeder, who will hear arguments on whether or not to block provisions of HB\u00a02 while another lawsuit filed by six North Carolinia citizens<\/a> is still pending in federal court.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Schroeder also indicated that there might be a consolidation of lawsuits at some point.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Transgender in children is a relatively new thing. Transgenders represent a very small number of people. I don’t want to see any group of people mistreated, but I think in this case we need to protect our children from people with evil intentions. There have been a number of incidents of people who are not transgender claiming to be transgender for evil purposes. We need to protect our children. If that means separate bathrooms for transgenders, so be it. At least everyone, including the transgenders, would be safe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
