And, I don't know how a NYT story with five writers could be so woefully inadequate, but, this story is:http://www.nytimes.com/2016/05/22/us/transgender-bathroom-obama-schools.html?_r=1 …

Of course,
@dominicholden and I have been covering all of this, with me covering the EEOC and Arcadia and Dom covering Houston and Grimm. -
The NYT story is, essentially, a story about a WH meeting. It's a Valerie Jarrett-Chad Griffin story, which explains why it is what it is.

And these are just the FACTUAL issues that I have with this story. Here's
@dominicholden's follow-up from Houston:https://www.buzzfeed.com/dominicholden/hrc-bathroom-strategy … -
The whole framing of the NYT story is missing the entire point of what's been going on here. Why focus on a student in Illinois?
-
And, to be clear, the point of discussing Arcadia is that is an Ed/DOJ starting point. They continued from there:https://www.buzzfeed.com/tonymerevick/education-department-federal-law-protects-transgender-studen?utm_term=.bxwKb1ZGeV#.krkeVR7My2 …

This is from Education's Office for Civil Rights two years ago: https://www.buzzfeed.com/tonymerevick/education-department-federal-law-protects-transgender-studen?utm_term=.bxwKb1ZGeV#.krkeVR7My2 …pic.twitter.com/cQeF6zGldC

Seriously, if you care to understand what's going on here, read that whole section of the amicus, pages 9-14: https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/2490122/grimm-4th-circuit-doj.pdf …

I've been reporting on this since that Macy decision discussed on p.12, so, 4+ years later, it's frustrating to read a story like today's.

Here's that story — of Mia Macy's case — if you really want to dig into the time capsule:http://www.metroweekly.com/2012/04/transgender-breakthrough/ …

Also: The print hed apparently is: "New Front Line in Culture War: the Bathroom." Or, read this from
