Texas Republican Wants Schools To Decide How To Police Bathrooms — Unless They Decide Wrong
Typical GOP hypocrisy The Lt. Gov wants to give schools the freedom to choose how to 'police' bathrooms... as long as they do it his way.
What an asswipe.
He doesn't like the Federal Gov telling his state what to do, but he is perfectly content telling individual school districts what to do.
As far as his "values" are concerned, he's anything but 'Christian' or a good person. He's a typical GOP jackass baiting homophobes with fear.
Give us a break, jackwad.

WASHINGTON — Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick (R) has said he wants to “let every school decide, let the parents decide” how to police transgender students’ bathroom choices.
But when Fort Worth school district Superintendent Kent Scribner decided last month that school staff should “acknowledge the gender identity that each student consistently and uniformly asserts,” and make sure students “feel comfortable and safe in the use of restroom and locker room facilities,” Patrick called for him to resign.
“Dr. Scribner has lost his focus and thereby his ability to lead the Fort Worth [school district],” Patrick said. “He has placed his own personal political agenda ahead of the more than 86,000 students attending 146 schools in the district by unilaterally adopting ‘Transgender Student Guidelines.’”
The case highlights a contradiction in some conservatives’ positions: They want to fight federal overreach by policing students’ bathroom choices themselves. The Obama administration has argued that existing law requires public schools to let transgender students use bathrooms that correspond to their gender identity. But conservatives say the president has gone too far, and have fought back. Patrick sent
a tweet on Tuesday that made his position clear: Texas will not give in to President Obama's attacks on our values
