Bathroom Battle
Title IX used to mean women get as many athletic scholarships as men. Politico reports the Obama administration wants to expand the meaning of Title IX to allow males who identify as female to use the women’s facilities in schools that receive federal funds.
Ed Whalen in National Review calls this a legal absurdity. He says, using the administration’s reasoning, “An athlete who is biologically male in all respects must be allowed to compete for a position on a women’s sports team if he identifies himself as female.”
The Justice Department considers LGBT bathroom rights a civil rights issue. Loretta Lynch called the North Carolina bathroom law Jim Crow legislation and sued. North Carolina responded by suing the Feds. David French says, “The executive branch has gone rogue by amending federal law through unconstitutional action.”
On the other hand, CNN has a picture of a transgendered person who sure looks like he belongs in the men’s room.
