Obama Issues Decree Ending Sex Segregated Sports in All Schools

The Department of Education OCR (Office of Civil Rights) now unilaterally rolls out the rules governing everybody in school. It's happened so fast that most people don't even see it happening. All based on the following phrase:

"No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance."

(from the Patsy Takemoto Mink Equal Opportunity in Education Act)

Who voting for this knew that it completely altered the meaning of "Men's" and "Women's" restrooms, to line up with the rapidly shifting meaning of "Male" and "Female".

I'm liberal, but this is stupid. However, it will right itself in time when that comes clear.

This could be my sons ticket to the Ivy League. He has a 35 act but is a white suburban normal kid, nothing "special" or unique. This would look great in his college essays if he joins girls track and cross country and breaks state records. Now the tough part of selling him to proclaim that he identifies as a girl.

He/she would be a national hero. Any school of your choice. It's riiiiight there for the first one to do it. Yeeeeees. Do it!

I'd do it myself, but I'm too old and fat. I suppose I could still destroy the throwing records though.

A school may not require transgender students to have a medical diagnosis, undergo any medical treatment, or produce a birth certificate or other identification document before treating them consistent with their gender identity.

So they can't ask for ANY proof of your claims that you are a 17 year old girl. If they do, you sue. Do it!

It's open season.

High school boys - start "identifying" as a girl every time you need to use the locker room to change. Start "identifying" as a girl and rewrite the record books and win championships.

what is the consensus among American girls and women, in general? Are they for these types of 'law'? It seems like we don't hear much from the general female public...

What are you talking about? Jenner has talked a lot about how this affects women.

Why do wen need this? What would that prove? I'm unclear why a guy would want to "prove" something is wrong by making up the fact that he is transgender. I don't see major issues with sports. I think it will be very very rare cases where there is any issue.

It won't take thousands of cases, or even hundreds or cases. No matter how "rare case" it is, it only takes one and only one to blow apart the record books and make them meaningless.

I feel like I am being trolled. This has so many obvious bad implications it's not something you would want to unilaterally start doing everywhere. It's still in the "here is an idea, let's think this through" stage.

No. It's in the "You're going to do it or we'll cut off your Federal funding" stage.

This is real.

No one voted on this. None of your representatives had any say at all in this. This is Obama re-interpreting existing statutes to say things they don't say.

Women voted in droves for Obama. And they've never spoken up. They get what they deserve.

Texas defies the dictator's decree: He can keep his 30 pieces of silver.

Why does Obama hate women?

Honest question. Do feminists embrace or reject the transgender movement? Do they embrace trangender people as allies as a group that doesn't get equal rights or equal treatment? Or do they reject transgender people as an intrusion by males into their gender to take their place?

You are liberal = you are stupid. It's your screwed up world view that has provoked this.

Thanks for reminding me why I generally lean left.

This is why you never want to be financially dependent on the Federal Government. Do what we say or we take away the money!!! Why can't people figure this out???

This is the childish behavior that leads to overly strict and literal law-making that suffocates all of us.

While some kid is happy just having the freedom to be themselves, some jagoff who just wants to prove a point that's non-relavent, proposes boys taking over girl's athletics.

Look how this hypocrite leftist is running away from the consequences of his mindset and his voting.

I'm with you on this. But it isn't really that much of a choice. The Feds take away from a state's citizens via taxes and then offer to return some of your citizens taxes by special programs (school, roads,...). Decline the money and your citizen's money gets sent to other states.

This is pure gold. I can't wait to see how the radical leftist progressives react when a boy decides to identify as a girl and destroy some records.

I hope it's a frat-type douchebag of a boy.
