Senator Inhofe Labels Education Department Bathroom Directive Blackmail

Obama Senator Jim Inhofe criticizes policy guidance issued by the department of education the week before regarding transgender use of school bathrooms as demanding a change under the threat of losing significant public assistance. Calling the guidance blackmail where you comply or you lose something that you are entitled to, Inhofe says that by rewriting the law, president obama has decided without any input from congress that local schools must accommodate a very small segment of the population in a very specific way by allowing them to use the bathroom of their choice. Inhofe calls it a misguided policy directed at the comfort of a microminority at the expense of the comfort, privacy and safety of the majority of students who do not want to expose themselves or be exposed to another student of a different sex. Inhofe quotes attorney general scott pruitt view that the letter definitely changes the law in that it takes the unprecedented step of redefining sex to mean gender identity, expressing his own view that the nation's schools should not be ground zero for social experiments from liberal agenda, which he says is exactly what is happening.
