11 U.S. states sued the Obama administration today, seeking to overturn a directive from the federal government that public schools should allow transgender students to use the bathroom matching their gender identity.
The lawsuit accused the federal government of overstepping its constitutional powers by taking actions that should be left to Congress or individual states.
The state of Texas is the lead plaintiff and was joined by Alabama, Wisconsin, West Virginia, Tennessee, Oklahoma, Louisiana, Utah and Georgia, plus the Arizona Department of Education and the governor of Maine.
