"LINCOLN, Neb. (WOWT) - With state and federal policies on a collision course over the matter of transgender bathroom rights in Nebraska's schools, a resolution to leave the matter to local districts failed on a tie vote Friday morning.

Ever since President Obama declared that not allowing people to use the restroom of the gender they identify with is a violation of equality under Title IX, there have been discussions across the country.

More than a dozen people testified Friday in Lincoln on the resolution that would give school districts local control on the issue. Not allowing Nebraska students to use the restroom of the gender they identify with could mean fines and the loss of $400 million in federal funding to schools."
