This directive involved transgender students using the public bathrooms in their school, which relates to my paragraph above since both of these situations occurred in North Carolina. Schools who do not agree with this directive being blocked are being threatened to annul the federal assistance they receive from the government. If you look at it closely, it sort of looks like the Courts are blackmailing these schools into blocking transgender people from using the bathroom of their choice by threatening to withdraw funding. If the school does not comply, they can and probably will lose not only money, but other resources that could put the school into trouble and cause harm.

It is a parent’s job to protect their child and always be with them so I don’t see or understand why you would let a child go into a bathroom alone with strangers. You wouldn’t let a child wander a store alone so why would a parent
