IS THIS AMERICA? – AT 9:31 A.M. ET:   In the last year, once his obligations to the Democratic Party were coming to an end, the true Obama has come out.  We have seen the fierce leftist, the racialist, the divider, the man who abuses our allies and comforts our enemies.  The un-American president.

But this takes the prize.  From Fox: 

The Obama administration has sent a letter to every public school district in the country telling them to allow transgender students to use bathrooms and locker rooms that match their chosen gender identity, as opposed to their birth certificate.

The letter, which is signed by officials at the Justice Department and the Department of Education, was sent out Friday. A copy was posted on the Department of Justice’s website.

While the letter does not have the force of law, it does warn that schools that do not abide by the administration’s interpretation of civil rights law may face lawsuits or loss of federal aid.

"There is no room in our schools for discrimination of any kind, including discrimination against transgender students on the basis of their sex," Attorney General Loretta Lynch said in a statement.

Officials say the letter is meant to clarify expectations of school districts that receive funding from the federal government. Educators have been seeking guidance on how to comply with Title IX, which prohibits sex discrimination in educational programs and activities that receive federal funding, Education Secretary John B. King said in a statement.

COMMENT:  No matter what side you're on, you have to be concerned about this abuse of power.  The idea that the authors of Title IX, which originally focused on providing equality to women in college athletics, even dreamed of this application of the law is ludicrous. 

There is, of course, no public input permitted.  This is dictatorial government, seeking to impose an ideological solution consistent with the agenda of the hard left.  The public be damned.  Women who innocently walk into restrooms be damned.  This is the way you will live your lives, peasants!

It is frightening.  It is things like this that partially explain the rise of Donald Trump.
