Tony Perkins: President Obama’s “Transgender Agenda” Is One The Biggest Miscalculations Of His Tenure

Via press release from hate group leader Tony Perkins:

If Ohio is the bellwether of America, then the president’s agenda is in a heap of trouble. The Buckeye State isn’t about to stand back and let the Obama administration take its schools hostage to a transgender agenda that puts its students at risk. This morning, Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine joined the chorus of state leaders resisting the tyranny of the Departments of Justice and Education for its order that schools open their showers, bathrooms, and locker rooms to boys and girls — no matter how unsafe or uncomfortable it may make them.

While 11 other states tell President Obama “we’ll see you in court,” leaders from Ohio are letting their district know where the administration’s mandate belongs — in the trash can. Calling the agencies’ threat to pull federal funds over the issue “astonishing,” DeWine pointed out what several senators already have: “Congress has not changed the law — and no ‘guidance’ from federal officials can do what Congress has declined to do.” Regardless of what the radical Left thinks, DeWine went on, local schools should be the ones making decisions on issues like student privacy and gender identity.

If the uproar from attorneys general like DeWine is any indication, President Obama is making one of the biggest political miscalculations of his eight years. Like Congress, these state leaders are tired of being bullied, bypassed, and berated on issues that have nothing to do with the real priorities of the day. Never underestimate the outrage of a country in a debate where the safety and innocent of children hang in the balance. This administration may not have learned that lesson — but thanks to states like Ohio, it’s about to.
