President Obama has issued a decree to every public school in the United States: let boys into the girls' locker rooms, showers, and bathrooms, or else.
All public school locker rooms, showers, and bathrooms must be opened up on the basis of internal gender identity and expression, rather than by biological reality. This also includes boys and girls sports teams.
Schools must comply or risk being sued by the government or risk losing their federal education funding.
Read the letter from the Obama Administration here.
This serious overstep should gravely concern every parent with a child or children in public schools.
Sign our petition to tell President Obama that his Administration's misguided efforts to 'preserve civil rights' will not be tolerated.

I started this because I was worried about our schools but I never imagined a thousand people would feel the same way. This is entirely your doing and I am just humbled to see so many families wanting to protect their children.

I am honestly overwhelmed by how many people have joined this cause when I initially thought I would be the only one speaking up. The momentum here belongs entirely to you and your willingness to stand for your children. It is humbling to see so many families finding common ground in this effort.

I am honestly overwhelmed by how many people have added their names to this. We are very near one hundred signatures and reaching that total would show officials that we are truly serious about protecting our schools.

Keep bathrooms boys and girls or provide a separate bathroom for those who need it. By not doing so you jeopardize my child's and others children's safety. Public schools should be a safe place for children. Safe from danger and adult politics.
I wonder why family-friendly facilities hasn't been addressed, pushed or brought up? I have big concerns about safety, for the female family members and friends. In large female(s) aren't as physically strong as male(s), and these moves put them in BIG danger.
What percentage of transgender folks are you making these unethical changes for?? hy not provide a single use bathroom/changing room and NOT subject 98% of the population to an individual and perhaps changing fetish...protect the privacy of our women!!!!
My issue isn't transgender people. My issue is predators being given an open door policy, without question, to our bathrooms, showers, locker rooms. This would give them free access. I guarantee sexual assaults will rise dramatically!
Seriously Obama?! What is the logic behind this and how does this benefit the majority of the human race that identify their gender with their genetics and what they were born as? I am pulling my children out of public schools and this is one of the reasons.
This now is a casualty, whats next? I am afraid to think into the future on how all the common sense is going out of the window. Sad for my children's future!
I strongly believe that this is not a good idea! This is a disaster waiting to happen!

This is bad policy. The need to keep women and girls safe should be more important than forcing them to share the private space of a restroom. Creating a third restroom would be a far more acceptable way to handle this and keep women safe!
