Fair Facts Win in Fairfax
from FRC Action:
President Obama has gotten away with a lot of things in the past two terms, but his bathroom order may not be one of them. Parents, state leaders, and school boards are ramping up their opposition in some of the least likely places. Fairfax County, home to one of the biggest school districts in the nation, was out in front of even President Obama — making special privileges for confused students part of their policy way back in 2015.
Now, thanks to a flood of complaints, the liberal board is having second thoughts. Last Tuesday, members shelved their plans to make the open restroom, shower, and locker room rules part of their official handbook. The liberal media was apoplectic. In a scathing editorial, the Washington Post shamed the board for daring to weigh the decision more carefully. Arguing that it should be transgender students — not the population at large — whose safety comes first, Post editors blasted members for taking the privacy of non-transgender students (99.5 percent of most schools) into account.
Elsewhere, Fort Worth, Texas is showing similar caution. Although it was one of the first districts to jump on the president’s bandwagon, the superintendent has come full circle, reversing his earlier decision in a major victory for parents. With help from Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton (R), who released a formal legal opinion on the White House’s edict last month, Fort Worth reconsidered its rush into gender-free bathrooms. With 21 states now suing the Obama administration, the Left knows that its agenda is in deep trouble. Of course, some businesses — like the NBA — are racing to placate LGBT activists anyway, despite the fact that very few of those executives have the same policy they’re advocating.
