Texas Republican Gov. Greg Abbott said Wednesday that the state's attorney general, Ken Paxton, would challenge the controversial order, which tells school district to allow transgender students to use the restroom of their choice. No other details were immediately available Wednesday about the number of states joining in on the suit. Abbott announced the litigation in a tweet. Abbott, a former state attorney general himself, has made his lawsuits against the Obama administration a touchstone of his political profile. The state is currently awaiting a decision from the Supreme Court on the constitutionality of the Obama administration's executive actions on immigration.If schools lose federal funds as a consequences of noncompliance with Obama's "guidelines," that will fall most heavily on poor students, because the bulk of federal education funds are for programs to help poor students. Apparently Obama has no problem with putting these poor students at risk if that's what it takes to push his agenda of men using the ladies' room on no greater authority than their own say-so.
