File this under "American Silliness": The DOE is now in the high school girl's shower


American Thinker  "For more than two decades Americans have become desensitized to the arrogance, hubris and general incompetence of Washington insiders. Each succeeding administration has seemingly tried to outdo the previous administration in outrageous conduct, whether it be in creative tax burdens or reasons for sending young Americans to other countries to fight and die. Every day brings another revelation causing Americans to roll their eyes, shake their heads, and wonder what, if anything, can be done to a government that seems to pay no attention to its citizens whatsoever."

"The U.S. Department of Education has tried for the last 7 years to implement the Obama administration’s numerous social engineering agendas and failed. It is time to abolish the Department of Education, strip it of the multi-billion-dollar budget, and put the Office of Education in place such as existed before 1979."

Will the NFL boycott Houston for keeping boys out of girls' showers?. . . Now that Houston has rejected a law that would have required schools to let disguised boys shower with young girls in schools (and other places), there is some talk that there may be an economic backlash – notably that the NFL may not hold the Super Bowl in Houston because of it.

From Houston, Signs of How the Democratic Party Is Bound to Fracture   . . . "The liberal white lady du jour is Houston mayor Annise Parker, who has just failed — spectacularly — in her tireless and ruthless campaign to bring Houstonians’ private opinions under political discipline through a so-called civil-rights ordinance that would have made the abolition of penis-bearing persons (we used to call them “men”) from the ladies’ locker room an official offense in the same category of wrongdoing as shoving Rosa Parks to the back of the bus. But the voters in this overwhelmingly non-Anglo city saw things differently: 61 percent of Houston’s largely progressive voters opposed the Houston Equal Rights Ordinance (HERO, naturally). " . . .

The Lesson of Kentucky and Houston: Social-Justice Bullies Lose  , , , "And it was bullying that Houston citizens recognized all too well. One year ago, the activist, lesbian mayor of Houston subpoenaed the sermons and other communications of five pastors — men who opposed the city’s expansive nondiscrimination ordinance. The subpoenas weren’t limited to sermons about the so-called HERO act; they demanded “emails, instant messages, and text messages” on “equal rights, civil rights, homosexuality, or gender identity.” Houston had launched a direct attack on religious freedom."
