I voted Democratic in the Louisiana governor’s race last fall because the budget was a hellacious mess and I didn’t trust Republicans to fix it. Besides, the Democrat, John Bel Edwards, is a pro-life Catholic. How socially liberal could he be? At the time, my friend and neighbor, a fellow conservative, taunted me for voting D.
Today my neighbor forwarded me this e-mail he received back from the governor’s office, and taunted me even more heavily:
Thank you for contacting the office of Governor John Bel Edwards with your concern regarding the federal issued guidance on transgender access to school restrooms.
Governor Edwards is reviewing the guidance from the US Department of Justice and Department of Education. It appears that this guidance is simply clarifying current law under Title IX. The governor is working closely with the Louisianan [sic] Department of Education to meet our shared goal of fostering a safe, non-discriminatory environment for our children.
Your position has been forwarded to the governor’s policy team for notation. We appreciate your input as we work to meet the needs of our state.
Vote Democratic, roll out the welcome mat to girls with penises in your daughter’s locker room. So noted.
Say what you will about John McCain and Mitt Romney, but it’s a pretty safe bet their administrations wouldn’t have been declaring wars on school restrooms. Speaking of which, when is Hillary going to be asked her thoughts on this topic?
