"The leaders of West Virginia's Clay County public school system say their schools won't follow the Obama administration's directive to allow transgender students to use the bathrooms and locker rooms that correspond with their gender identity.

"I am writing on behalf of the Clay County Board of Education, to inform you that 'the sharing of school bathrooms, locker rooms, and showers by boys and girls, at the same time,' in no way protects the privacy rights of all students," Clay Superintendent Kenneth Tanner wrote in a letter dated May 20 and addressed to students, parents and staff."
