Hope that NC tells the feds to shove their money.

If the feds want to punish children by withholding edu funds, let them take that responsibility.

When the DOJ threatens scantuary cities by witholding cash, then the DOJ will begin regain some credibility.

When the head of the DOJ lies on a warrant and judge shops and suffers no legal consequence, the DOJ has ceased being a trusted agency.

Like I said, given a recent Federal Court ruling on exactly this issue, Obama's DOJ is WAY out of line on this. NC knows...

"This case arises from Plaintiff Seamus Johnston’s allegations that Defendants discriminated against him based on his sex and his transgender status(1) by prohibiting him from using sex-segregated locker rooms and restrooms that were designated for men. Although the parties have submitted lengthy briefs and have advanced numerous arguments, this case presents one central question: whether a university, receiving federal funds, engages in unlawful discrimination, in violation of the United States Constitution and federal and state statutes, when it prohibits a transgender male student from using sex-segregated restrooms and locker rooms designated for men on a university campus. The simple answer is no."

(1) Plaintiff was born a female but identifies as a transgender male."
