President Barack Obama may use a new courtroom decision to effectively eliminate single-sex bathrooms in K-12 schools around the nation, says groups lobbying to increase the social and legal status of “transgender” people who want to live like people of the opposite sex.
The change is needed, according to transgender groups, because the revolutionary change would comfort the tiny number of kids and youths who wish to change their sex.
But mainstream lawyers hope higher courts will stop a presidential or agency mandate against single-sex bathrooms — and, logically, against single-sex locker rooms. “Such a mandate [would be] totally disrespective of the privacy rights of all the students involved, [and] it would be a clear breach of trust and an unconstitutional expansion of federal powers,” said Brad Dacus, president of the Pacific Justice Institute.
