The United States Justice Department has now capitulated to the demands of activists in striking down a state law by interpreting the protections of people on the basis of "sex" in a 1960s civil rights act to apply to gender identity. This move threatens to remove millions of dollars in federal education funding.

In a letter to North Carolina Governor Pat McCrory on Wednesday, the Justice Department declared that House Bill 2 violates the Civil Rights Act of 1964 by institutionalizing discrimination on the basis of sex in public schools. The letter gives North Carolina officials until Monday to say they will not enforce the law, otherwise the state could lose federal funding for education (North Carolina received $861 million in federal funding during the current school year, and is slated to receive $4.5 billion next year).

Vanita Gupta, Principle Deputy Assistant Attorney General, sent the letter to McCrory, laying out her case in no uncertain terms.

"Specifically, the State is engaging in a pattern or practice of discrimination against transgender state employees and both you, in your official capacity, and the State are engaging in a pattern or practice of resistance to the full enjoyment of Title VII rights by transgender employees of public agencies.

Access to sex-segregated restrooms and other workplace facilities consistent with gender identity is a term, condition, or privilege of employment. Denying such access to transgender individuals, whose gender identity is different from their gender assigned at birth, while affording it to similarly situated non-transgender employees, violates Title VII."

There you have it -- the federal protection against discrimination "on the basis of sex" extends to gender identity. Biological sex, clearly what the act meant to those drafting it, must be passed over in favor of gender identity.

Not really a surprise as the Obama administration will do whatever is necessary to pander to Leftist groups while at the same time undermining the rule of law and cultural and moral standards.
