Conservative politicians were quick to slam President Obama's directive that public schools allow transgender students to use the bathrooms that match their gender identity rather than biological sex, with Texas officials even going so far as to hint at a lawsuit. White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest responded by pointing out the directive is merely "guidance" for how schools can prevent discrimination, and that it doesn't add any legal requirements, though non-compliant schools may be at risk of losing federal funding.
