On Monday, U.S. District Judge Reed O’Conner issued a nationwide injunction prohibiting the Obama Administration from enforcing its bathroom directives against public schools across the country. Arizona joined 22 states in a federal lawsuit challenging President Obama’s mandate.
That mandate required all schools to open up boys and girls locker rooms and restrooms to students of the opposite sex based on student perceptions of their “gender identity.”
The Heber-Overgaard Unified School District is also an Arizona plaintiff in the lawsuit. The federal court lawsuit was filed in the Northern District of Texas.
The court prevented the federal government from relying on its flawed, unlawful guidance documents to schools and employers in an injunction that is effective nationwide.
Alabama, Arizona, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maine, Mississippi, Oklahoma, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Arkansas, Kansas, Michigan, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Ohio, South Carolina, South Dakota, and Wyoming joined in the lawsuit which was filed in May in federal district court in Texas.
