We applaud the state of Texas for standing strong against Target’s harmful bathroom policy that gives males who identify as females access to women’s restrooms and fitting rooms.
According to an exclusive story from Fox News’ Todd Starnes, Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton recently wrote a letter to Target’s CEO, requesting that the retail giant release its plans on how to keep women and children safe in store restrooms and fitting rooms. “It is possible that allowing men in women’s restrooms could lead to criminal and otherwise unwanted activity,” the letter read. The Attorney General also stated, “As chief lawyer and law enforcement officer for the State of Texas, I ask that you provide the full text of Target’s safety policies regarding the protection of women and children from those who would use the cover of Target’s restroom policy for nefarious purposes.” Paxton’s letter was obtained exclusively by Fox News.
What the Texas Attorney General is asking in this letter is exactly what we’ve been asking Target to answer. What about women and children? What about men who pretend to be women and go into these bathrooms just so they can prey on women?
It’s fabulous that someone in leadership in our country is stepping up to the plate and asking the tough questions that need to be asked.
