介绍:
DAN PATRICK, TEXAS LT. GOVERNOR:
We will not yield to blackmail from the president of the United States.
The federal government calls them guidelines. But several states, including Texas, see them more as a threat.
PATRICK: This goes against the values of so many people. It has nothing to do with anyone being against a transgender child.
At a Friday morning press conference, Texas Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick says a line has been crossed by the federal government after the Department of Justice sent a letter on transgender bathroom use in public schools across the United States.
In the letter, Attorney General Loretta Lynch, "There is no room in our schools for discrimination of any kind, including discrimination against transgender students on the basis of their sex."
Under the guidelines, public schools that receive federal money are obligated to treat students consistent with their gender identity, even if their records indicated a different sex, access sex-segregated facilities consistent with a student`s gender identity and protect a student`s privacy related to their transgender status.
