10 States Sue Over Restrooms Transgender Students Can Use

LINCOLN, Neb. (AP) — Ten states sued the federal government Friday over rules requiring public schools to allow transgender students to use restrooms conforming to their gender identity, joining a dozen other states in the latest fight over LGBT rights.

The lawsuit was filed in federal court in Nebraska and included nine other states: Arkansas, Kansas, Michigan, Montana, North Dakota, Ohio, South Carolina, South Dakota, and Wyoming.

The filing comes after 11 states sued in May over the same Obama administration directive. North Carolina officials also sued the federal government in May over the same issue. Vast sums of federal funding are at stake: Money could be withheld from public schools that refuse to comply with the federal directive.

This is all the fault of people like Jim Ireton and Ryan Hughes in Salisbury running around flashing women in female toilets. That's what this transgender crap has turned into. Everyone and anyone identifies as anything and perverts like Ireton and Hughes say they're women tonight and use the bathroom at Roadie's or Mojos or Market Street where I see them hang out and have heard they go in the women's rooms. The police should be arresting them not giving them special rights. No to the transgenders!
