Obama administration sued by 11 states over transgender bathroom directive
- 8 years ago
Oklahoma and North Carolina aren't the only states to come out against President Obama's transgender directives to public schools.
Eleven states and state officials filed a lawsuit Wednesday protesting the administration's decision to provide transgender students with facilities that match their gender identity.
The lawsuit, filed in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Texas, claims that this federal guidance “has no basis in law” and could cause “seismic changes in the operations of the nation’s school districts.”
One of the parties involved, Texas Gov. Greg Abbott, said his state would fight the letter because Obama is "not a king."
