"Seventy-three House Republicans are reportedly challenging the Obama administration's authority to issue schools guidance on the restroom use of their trans student population.

Texas state representative Bill Flores, chairman of the Republican Study Committee, is urging "members to sign on to a letter, pushing the Departments of Education and Justice to detail how, and on what authority, they plan to enforce the new guidelines," as The Daily Signal, a conservative news site run by the right-wing Heritage Foundation, reports."

Ah yes the "Heritage Foundation". The word heritage is often code for " we want to maintain our unfair advantage over the rest of societies peoples that are not like us". That is hard to fit on a web site though.
