Brothers and sisters the doj (department of justice) and the ocr (office of civil rights) administered through the U.S. dept. of education do not want anyone to know that they are flying by the seat of their respective pants in miss-applying rather falsely applying the civil rights act of 1964 to transgender, and homosexual etc. rights. Nothing in that act has anything to do with protecting the rights of transgender, or homosexuals from discrimination, nor even mentions such persons. How do they fix this, better read this and be warned: Proposed legislation of the 114th United States Congress.

 Equality Act of 2015

Full title A bill to prohibit discrimination on the basis of sex, gender identity, and sexual orientation, and for other purposes

Colloquial name(s) Equality Act

On July 23, 2015, Sen. Jeff Merkley (D-OR) introduced the Equality Act of 2015 in the United States Senate.

In January 2016, Sen. Mark Kirk (R-IL) became the first Republican Senator to co-sponsor the bill.

Support

The Equality Act of 2015 has received support from Apple Inc., Dow Chemical Company, Human Rights Campaign, Levi Strauss & Co., American Airlines, Facebook, General Mills, Google, and Nike.

This thing speaks for itself. Those intending to perpetrate this travesty will certainly wait for the elections to be over to avoid backlash. No doubt such a so called “equality act” will be wildly unpopular. The politicians are sly and cunning; to ensure their jobs they will wait until the danger of the elections have passed and then try to put this law into effect.

Write and call your elected officials up for re or election to express your opposition. Let your dollars speak in not supporting businesses or organizations in favor of this law.

Brothers and sisters, we all as Christians can understand and know the laws that affect our lives. The question we have to ask is where did all this mess about trans-gender and or non-binary gender come from, since the federal laws are, passed by our elected members of congress.

Well sit down because certain tinkerers have decided to go beyond the scope of law, and introduce and loosed these travesties upon an unsuspecting populace.  We have to understand somethings about the department of education first of all:

Parents especially must know: What Is Not Part of the Department of Education’s Role?

In creating the Department of Education, Congress specified that: No provision of a program administered by the Secretary or by any other officer of the Department shall be construed to authorize the Secretary or any such officer to exercise any direction, supervision, or control over the curriculum, program of instruction, administration, or personnel of any educational institution, school, or school system, over any accrediting agency or association, or over the selection or content of library resources, textbooks, or other instructional materials by any educational institution or school system, except to the extent authorized by law. (Section 103[b], Public Law 96-88)

Thus, the Department does not

•establish schools and colleges;

•develop curricula;

•set requirements for enrollment and graduation;

•determine state education standards; or

•develop or implement testing to measure whether states are meeting their education standards.*

These are responsibilities handled by the various states and districts as well as by public and private organizations of all kinds, not by the U.S. Department of Education.

I hope this will be an eye opener for many.

WASHINGTON, May 4 (Reuters) - The Department of Justice told North Carolina's governor that a new state law limiting restroom access for transgender people violates the U.S. Civil Rights Act.

In a letter to Republican Governor Pat McCrory that was seen by Reuters, the Justice Department said the state was "engaging in a pattern or practice of discrimination against transgender state employees,"

Later North Carolina filed suit against the feds and the doj (dept. of Justice) the core of their response being: “The lawsuit filed by Berger, North Carolina Senate president pro tempore and Moore, state House Speaker, reflected the views of many of the bill's supporters that people "expect to encounter only other people of the same biological sex" when they are in intimate setting such as public bathrooms.”

This issue may reach the supreme court, as well as in other states where such laws are enacted. Brothers and sisters the doj is claiming such laws constitutes violation of the civil rights of transgender persons. Actually this is not true, I am posting title IX amendments of 1972, which has nothing to do with transgender et. Al. persons, but with the common understanding of sex as biologically based. This is a lot to read, but please be patient and read it for yourselves and be informed. I will post something even more interesting next time.

(3) Educational institutions of religious organizations with contrary religious tenets

this section shall not apply to an educational institution which is controlled by a religious organization if the application of this subsection would not be consistent with the religious tenets of such organization; (my personal notes on this is that any church being besieged by groups demanding "inclusiveness of homo-trans-etc. persons based on this Law is false.)

(b) Preferential or disparate treatment because of imbalance in participation or receipt of Federal benefits; statistical evidence of imbalance

Nothing contained in subsection (a) of this section shall be interpreted to require any educational institution to grant preferential or disparate treatment to the members of one sex on account of an imbalance which may exist with respect to the total number or percentage of persons of that sex participating in or receiving the benefits of any federally supported program or activity, in comparison with the total number or percentage of persons of that sex in any community, State, section, or other area: *Provided*, That this subsection shall not be construed to prevent the consideration in any hearing or proceeding under this chapter of statistical evidence tending to show that such an imbalance exists with respect to the participation in, or receipt of the benefits of, any such program or activity by the members of one sex.

Brothers and sisters we continue on in a secular sense: laws are put in place to try to stem the tide of increasingly chaotic and dangerous tampering with basic human biological understandings of gender since the dawn of man. Let us take a look at some aspects of the actual state of North Carolina current law which states this: North Carolina executive order No. 93 to protect privacy and equality:  Details

WHEREAS, North Carolina’s rich legacy of inclusiveness, diversity and hospitality makes North Carolina a global destination for jobs, business, tourists and talent;

WHEREAS, it is the policy of the Executive Branch that government services be provided equally to all people;

WHEREAS, N.C. Gen. Stat. § 160A-499.2 permits municipalities to adopt ordinances prohibiting discrimination in housing and real estate transactions, and any municipality may expand such ordinance consistent with the federal Fair Housing Act;

WHEREAS, N.C. Gen. Stat. § 143-422.2(c) permits local governments or other political subdivisions of the State to set their own employment policies applicable to their own personnel;

WHEREAS, North Carolina law allows private businesses and nonprofit employers to establish their own non-discrimination employment policies;

WHEREAS, N.C. Gen. Stat. § 143-128.2 requires each city, county or other local public entity to adopt goals for participation by minority businesses and to make good faith efforts to recruit minority participation in line with those goals;

WHEREAS, North Carolina law allows a private business or nonprofit to set their own restroom, locker room or shower policies;

WHEREAS, our citizens have basic common-sense expectations of privacy in our restrooms, locker rooms and shower facilities for children, women and men;

WHEREAS, to protect expectations of privacy in restrooms, locker rooms and shower facilities in public buildings, including our schools, the State of North Carolina maintains these facilities on the basis of biological sex;

WHEREAS, State agencies and local governments are allowed to make reasonable accommodations in restrooms, locker rooms and shower facilities due to special individual circumstances;

NOW, THEREFORE, pursuant to the authority vested in me as Governor by the Constitution and laws of the State of North Carolina, IT IS ORDERED:

Invite others to join in this study. Although it can be disturbing to some, this will give way and empower us to know we can face these issues without fear, and gain the knowledge we need to understand them ultimately within our Christian framework, to address them firmly, lovingly within the context of the truth of Jesus Christ.

Transgender is being used in a much looser term today. A so-called transgender woman may opt to retain the male fully functioning penis, and still be considered as transgender. This despite having a new birth certificate of being born a female. Anyone with a penis does not belong in the woman’s bathroom.   

So we see that this kind of law is not fool proof so to speak.

It is possible to present a birth certificate as one’s own when it is not. This kind of law is thought to close the door to allowing predators access to women and children. Who polices the bathrooms? who verifies the authenticity of the birth certificate? Who checks to see if the genitalia match the birth certificate? Who says it has to? Other troubling issues is that there is no clear definition of what or who can be a transgender. So transgender can be seen as an umbrella catch -all for those “transitioning” with the goal of hormone treatments and surgery to appear as their desired sex, to those who feel very strongly they were born in the wrong body and identify as the opposite gender with no desire for  surgical/hormonal interventions; to those who are so-called

“gender fluid” identifying as male or female depending on how they feel at any given time to those who do not identify as any sex, or even a third sex.  Since the flood gates have been opened there are now people who identify as belonging to the animal kingdom, not human, with so much more to come. Because of the aforementioned issues, brothers and sisters, we can understand the bathroom laws as a means to return to common sense gender specific public bathroom use based on biology.

Series to be continued.
