 <\/p>\n

The Department of Education will instruct every public school in America to provide \u201csuitable\u201d bathroom and locker room facilities to match transgender students \u201cchosen gender identity.\u201d<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Washington Post<\/a> has details on how the Obama Administration is justifying the new directive:<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The directive comes from two top administration officials: Catherine E. Lhamon, the assistant secretary of education for civil rights, and Vanita Gupta, head of the Justice Department\u2019s Civil Rights Division. It will put state and local officials and higher-education institutions on notice that they risk losing federal education aid if they limit students to areas or teams based on their gender assigned at birth.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The action comes just days after the Justice Department and the state of North Carolina filed dueling lawsuits over a new law requiring individuals in that state to use bathrooms based on their birth gender.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Citing Title IX, which prohibits sexual discrimination at educational institutions that receive federal funding, the two officials warn that the obligation \u201cto ensure nondiscrimination on the basis of sex requires schools to provide transgender students equal access to educational programs and activities even in circumstances in which other students, parents, or community members raise objections or concerns.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cAs is consistently recognized in civil rights cases, the desire to accommodate others\u2019 discomfort cannot justify a policy that singles out and disadvantages a particular class of students,\u201d reads the letter, which was obtained by The Washington Post.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

News of the policy hit late Thursday night but some prominent Republicans\u00a0were up late enough to respond. Sen. Ben Sasse (R-NB) asked some appropriate, yet, sadly, rhetorical questions via Twitter:<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Title IX of federal education law prohibits sexual discrimination for any school (primary, secondary or college) that receives federal funding. But does Title IX apply not just to a persons gender, but also to their perceived gender identity? According to a recent decision by the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals, yes.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ed Whelan at National Review<\/a>\u00a0broke down that decision last month when it came down.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a divided ruling, a Fourth Circuit panel ruled today, in G.G. v. Gloucester County School Board, that a Virginia school discriminated \u201con the basis of sex\u201d in violation of Title IX when it barred \u201cG.G.,\u201d a \u201ctransgender boy\u201d\u2014that is, a girl who thinks she\u2019s a boy\u2014from using the boys\u2019 restroom. (The school instead allowed her to use either the girls\u2019 restrooms or one of the school\u2019s single-stall restrooms, which the school created to accommodate transgender students but which were available to all students.) The court, in short, ruled that discrimination on the basis of gender identity is discrimination on the basis of sex, and that Title IX \u201crequires schools to provide transgender students access to restrooms congruent with their gender identity.\u201d It ordered the district court to reconsider whether G.G. is entitled to preliminary injunctive relief against the school\u2019s rule.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p><\/blockquote>\n

It appears Obama\u2019s Education Department is using this decision as a rationale to mandate every school in America to accommodate any child whose gender identity might not sync with their actual gender.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Whether the administration chooses to mandate a bathroom\/locker room free-for-all by utilizing\u00a0Title IX, which was written in 1972, or by utilizing the 1964 Civil Rights Act (as they did earlier this week in their lawsuit against the state of North Carolina) they\u2019ll be hard pressed to find any contemporaneous notes by congressmen and senators\u00a0who crafted\u00a0those historic laws which reveal that they were trying to protect against not just sexual discrimination, but transgender discrimination as well.<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Regardless of how this gets worked out in the courts, every parent in America will wake up this morning having to deal with\u00a0an issue they probably never thought they\u2019d have to face several years ago. Parents now have to decide how they will deal with the reality that their child will not enjoy a basic level of privacy when they use a restroom or locker room when they go to school. Will this bring about a rise in private school attendance? Will it inspire more parents to home school their children? \u00a0Will states flirt with the idea of refusing federal education funds?<\/strong><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Either way, if anyone wondered what President Obama meant when he promised to \u201cfundamentally transform the United States of America,\u201d now they know.<\/strong><\/p>\n
