U.S. Judge Grants Nationwide Injunction Blocking White House Transgender Policy
Months after the Obama administration advised school districts that transgender students should be given access to bathrooms based on their gender identity, a federal judge in Texas has blocked the guidance from going into effect — for now.
U.S. District Judge Reed O'Connor has granted a preliminary, nationwide injunction in response to a lawsuit filed by Texas and a number of other states.
As we've reported, the lawsuit argues that the guidance from the White House would turn schools "into laboratories for a massive social experiment."
The preliminary injunction would mean that, until that lawsuit works its way through the courts, the "status quo" would be maintained and the guidance could not be considered enforceable.

Discrimination is discrimination. Bigotry is bigotry.
