On one hand, Larry Purtill from the teachers' union condemns the president for an "attack" on LGBTQ youth (the "Q" stands for what, again?). In the next sentence, we are told that the action "...does not undo legal protections for transgender students" who, we are lectured, "...are protected by the Constitution...." Take a breath, Mr. Purtill. This action simply allows individual states to construct policies that are in the best interest of its' students. Oh, the horrors!!!! Only in liberal la la land is such an action deemed to be an "attack". Gender Dysphoria remains a diagnosable mental disorder in the American Psychiatric Association's Diagnostic and Statistical Manual (Fifth Edition). Activists may curiously see it as their collective duty to normalize a mental illness, something for which we should display compassion. It is not, however, a proper role of the federal government to march in lockstep with such lunacy. Perhaps Mr. Purtill, being an educator, could point to that section of the Constitution that outlines how the Framers dealt with Gender Dysphoria. A hip new cause does not a constitutional matter make.
