Dear readers, Catholic Online was de-platformed by Shopify for our pro-life beliefs. They shut down our Catholic Online, Catholic Online School, Prayer Candles, and Catholic Online Learning Resources—essential faith tools serving over 1.4 million students and millions of families worldwide. Our founders, now in their 70's, just gave their entire life savings to protect this mission. But fewer than 2% of readers donate. If everyone gave just $5, the cost of a coffee, we could rebuild stronger and keep Catholic education free for all. Stand with us in faith. Thank you.

States revolt, 11 sue to block disruptive Obama restroom edict, protect kids

Free World Class Education

Obama the Disruptor has made an issue out of nothing, upsetting everyone.

Eleven states are challenging the Obama edict that schools should allow kids to use whatever bathroom they choose, regardless of their gender. Obama issued the edict last week as a means of joining the "transgender" bandwagon that is sweeping the nation. Unfortunately, the policy impacts children.

LOS ANGELES, CA (California Network) - Eleven states are suing the Obama administration over his demand that schools across the U.S. start allowing kids to use the restrooms, locker rooms and showers of their choice. Concern has been expressed that heterosexual children will take advantage of the permissive policy to victimize children of the opposite sex. It could also invite discomfort by allowing members of the opposite sex to enter the other's facilities.

An entire chain of disruption can result from these policies as gender norms are upset across the nation. Athletic teams, academic scholarships, workplaces and other institutions that offer gender-specific facilities and benefits.


The states in the legal challenge include: Alabama, Arizona, Georgia, Louisiana, Maine, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Utah, West Virginia and Wisconsin.

Until recently, restroom choice was not a subject of public discussion. People simply went to the restroom of their gender. People who identified as the opposite gender, and who appeared as a member of that gender, often used the facilities that matched their chosen identity. It was never an issue because such people tended to blend in discreetly.

Now that the issue has been raised, it has become the subject of policies and laws, attracting considerable public attention. There is now a fear that perverts, often heterosexual, will exploit these libertine rules to gain access to victims in intimate settings.

People across the nation are calling for their children to be protected from a threat that has been largely manufactured by the Obama regime and its disruptive agents.

States that refuse to comply with Obama's edict stand to lose billions in education funding. The states listed in the lawsuit are willing to give up that funding, and the federal control that comes with it. After all, with a government like this, what is the use of money if it will only be used to further undermine good morals and public decency? How is that -or any of this education?

The case is expected to move quickly through the courts, relatively speaking.
