Martin letter: Transgender restrooms

Forget the presidential library for this president. Instead a bronze statue depicting the commander in chief leading a charge with his pen (guns are not permitted) backed by a division of lawyers from the DOJ. This would be a fitting tribute for the gallantry actions against the masses of our public school districts, on the issue of OMG .... the use of bathrooms for transgenders. If your children are offended sharing gym lockers, showers or bathrooms with those being transsexual, then they obviously need more tolerance and sensitivity training by the state nannies. This is just the latest antic of the absent-in-chief in a lame attempt to change the demographics of our nation and society. Those adults who are intimidated with this lifestyle change (your president ran on this phrase) don’t understand diversity, and will consequently need sensitivity training as well. Why don’t we just take the male/female figures off the doors and replace them with “whichever”? Bathrooms without borders ... what a country.

Gene Martin, Emmett
