Under the bathroom measure, a student, parent or employee could sue in an effort to claim monetary damages “for all psychological, emotional, and physical harm suffered” if school officials allow a transgender person into the bathroom or locker room when others are in there. They also could take legal action if required to stay in the same sleeping quarters as a member of the opposite sex at birth, unless that person is a family member.
“That bill provides equal access to every student. It’s a reasonable accommodation,” Lee told reporters last week. “It allows for accommodation for every student regardless of their gender. I think that’s a smart approach to the challenge.” Challenging a school policy currently presents procedural hurdles, including legal standing and immunity issues, said state ACLU spokesperson Lindsay Kee. The law presents a “clear path to litigation” about bathrooms and allows for attorneys’ fees awards, Kee said.
Straight men are the predators
funny shit coming from an incestuous state where they do horses too.
Trump & his sycophants continue (by nefarious means) to fan the flames of fear and hatred.
No one in America should fear for their life or made to feel like a second class citizen simply because of their appearance (race and/or sex) or for any other reasons.
Diversity is America's strength. We should all freely and willingly come together and realize that diversity is a critical factor in maintaining the values and the idea of America-- equal treatment, equal opportunity and equal justice for all.
He is so mean.
The good Gov would do well to worry more about the crumbling bridges in his state and worry less about who’s using which bathroom! MemphisBridge
I guess I don't understand what's been happening out in public bathrooms, but this seems like a colossal waste of time. Don't they have other things to worry about?
Good!
Modern Day Shock Therapy.
got news for Conservatives ... we have been sharing our bathrooms with gay & effeminate men, trans people, and little boys our entire lives. and its no big deal. we do our business & go on about our day meanwhile, we cannot let our young boys use the men's room unaccompanied🤔
Can we please just make 3 bathrooms for public use, and get it over with? Male, female, and other. Fuck these right wing “Christians” who practice anything other than being Christian
Gender wouldn’t matter if they could make stalls that are actually private. Have people mind their own business in the bathroom and stop being slobs. It would be way more efficient for bathrooms to be available to anyone.
I fully support the decision of Tennessee GoV. they doing it right
Boys use the boys room, girls use the girls room. It's not complicated. Turns out common sense ain't that common. Turns out, some folks have to be reminded.
OMG FOR FUCKS SAKE. CAN WE JUST NOT?! WTF cares if someone goes pee in the bathroom they identify with. Are you that concerned with bodily functions?
Isn't TN also the state that used public funds to build a Noah's Arc that people went to for a short period and then ended up closing up? Yeah.... 'the town needs an enema'
GOP is unabashedly evil
I can't imagine that we have a lot of transgender school students, but whatever.

The GOP has become ISIS as they impose their religious cultural views on everyone else.
All this from a man who had his dick removed and put in his mouth.
I’m confused is it 2013?
thereidout The GOP is just so full of fear and hate.
I am sorry but you all the are so ridiculous.
Assigned is a misnomer. You’re assigned a name. It doesn’t help to use ill suited language. You’re not assigned any physical attributes. Conflating bigotry with these things is causing a backlash including against gay people.
