ABC News/By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS OKLAHOMA CITY — May 24, 2016, 8:30 PM ET

"An Oklahoma House committee has killed legislation that would require schools to provide separate restrooms for students who object to sharing them with transgender students.

The bill died Tuesday when lawmakers deadlocked 10-10 after committee members expressed concern about the cost schools would incur in providing separate bathrooms.

The measure was filed last week in opposition to the federal government's guidance on the use of bathrooms and locker rooms by transgender students. It would have allowed students to ask schools for an "accommodation based on the student's sincerely held religious beliefs" to avoid having to share restrooms with transgender students."

What's the next proposal intended to pander to the Christian right-wing? Pick your own teacher? Pick your homework assignments? Pick your textbooks - if your conservative school board hasn't already done it for you, that is? Picking your own facts and picking your own reality already seems to be quite fashionable.
