AUSTIN, Texas (AP) — Texas is leading a dozen states, including Maine, in suing the Obama administration over its directive to U.S. public schools to let transgender students use the bathrooms and locker rooms that match their self-selected gender identity.
The lawsuit announced Wednesday also includes Oklahoma, Alabama, Wisconsin, West Virginia, Tennessee, Arizona, Louisiana, Utah and Georgia. It asks a North Texas federal court to declare the directive unlawful in what ranks among the most coordinated and visible legal challenges by states over the socially divisive issue of bathroom access for transgender persons.
