From the White House to the Outhouse...

It's been a rough month for Barack Obama. At his old office, President Trump is keeping the shredders busy with his predecessor's radical policies and orders. Brick by brick, the White House is deconstructing the legacy of the Obama years -- scrubbing everything from overseas abortion funding to dangerous immigration postures. Today, the Trump team may be adding a new guidance to the trash heap: Obama's hugely controversial shower and bathroom order.

For nine months, parents, local districts, and states have been storming the courthouse doors to fight back on the decree, which insisted that every public school force students into the humiliating situation of sharing showers, restrooms, and locker rooms, with members of the opposite sex. Comply, the Department of Education implied, or lose your funding. To leaders like Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick (R), Obama's financial blackmail was nothing new. If anything, it only made them more determined. As far as Patrick was concerned, this was easily the most important issue for families since the Supreme Court ruled against school prayer. "This will be the end of public education, if this prevails," he warned. And most parents didn't need convincing. Even Democrats joined the fierce pushback in local communities, all fighting an agenda that the American College of Pediatricians calls "child abuse." Like us, they think Trump's position is the right one.

In a rare show of muscle, 23 states banded together to fight the order -- led by Texas. The White House's agenda was so unpopular by November that some experts even blamed Hillary Clinton's loss on her defense of it. Through it all, Donald Trump's position was clear: "I believe it should be states' rights, and I think the states should make the decision, they're more capable of making the decision," he told "Good Morning America"on May 13. When pressed, he repeated his stance. "I just think it should be states' rights. I think many things actually should be states' rights, but this is a perfect example of it," he said.

This week, he plans on proving it. According to sources, the Departments of Justice and Education have already drafted a letter scrubbing the Obama order. White House Press Secretary Sean Spicer was asked about the development yesterday in a media scrum. "Will there be further guidance coming out on this? I think that all you have to do is look at what the president's view has been for a long time, that this is not something the federal government should be involved in, this is a state's rights issue."
