From the Joe Carr for Congress Campaign in Murfreesboro:

The Obama administration's directive Friday that every public school must provide access to any student based on what they "believe" their sex is, or face the loss of federal funds drew swift and strong condemnation from conservatives, and has been seen as blackmail. The administration's directive has enraged people throughout the nation and may not be resolved until the next President is elected.

"It is tragic that the Tennessee General Assembly failed to stand firm when it decided not to join North Carolina by passing legislation that would protect Tennessee's Children against Obama's transgender bathroom guidance letter. Even more disappointing was 6th District Congressman Diane Black's eagerness to take advantage this situation for her own personal political gain by using this assault on Tennessee values to collect email addresses and raise money for her reelection.

I call on Governor Haslam and the Tennessee General Assembly to immediately join North Carolina in their lawsuit against the Obama Administration's bullying tactics. Additionally, I call on every school system in Tennessee to initiate a lawsuit suing the Department of Justice and the Department of Education. Finally, I call on Tennessee's U.S. Senator's and Congressman to join me in demanding that Governor Haslam and Attorney General Slatery take immediate legal action against the Obama Administration to protect Tennessee's Children. It is time that our elected leaders grew a spine and hit back against another unconstitutional Obama order."
