Letter to the Editor: Appropriate Rooms

To the Editor:

Boys and men use only their bathroom and locker-shower room in public places. Girls and women use only their bathroom and locker-shower room in public places. These first two sentences were unquestioned and went without saying until 2016.

I am sorry that meddling bureaucrats in the  Department of Justice and the Department of Education and  the Obama administration tried to dictate what our public schools, colleges and universities should allow. We should not comply to a transgender bathroom edict from Washington D.C. Presently our federal government is dysfunctional.

We must exercise our Tenth Amendment right to maintain order in our schools and prevent chaos.
