A group of Mississippi state lawmakers have joined the governor in calling for a top state education official to reject the Obama administration’s transgender student guidelines or resign.

“Now Obama is threatening our school funding to force his liberal ideologies of immorality on our nation at the expense of our helpless children,” Mississippi state Rep. Robert Foster, R-Hernando, wrote in a statement on his Facebook page, adding:

In our public schools, boys should use the boys’ facilities and girls the girls’ facilities. Single-use bathroom facilities have been available for a long time for people with special circumstances.

On Friday, the Department of Justice and Department of Education released joint guidelines about how to treat gender identity in schools across the nation. Mississippi’s Department of Education issued a statement saying that it would adhere to the guidance from the Obama administration.
