While the state DOE previously said it&nbsp;would act in accordance with the recommendations, one of the state&rsquo;s top education officials did an about-face on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/US\/wireStory\/mississippi-school-chief-shelves-transgender-bathroom-policy-39196267\">The AP reports:&nbsp;<\/a><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/i2.wp.com\/www.towleroad.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/05\/img_5369c_home.jpg?resize=127%2C158\" alt=\"img_5369c_home\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\">State Superintendent Carey Wright made the announcement Wednesday morning in a brief statement, saying the department would &ldquo;follow the lead of state leadership&rdquo; and take no action until the state Board of Education could discuss the situation. The move comes as Republicans in a number of other states have opposed the guidance, with some seeking to join legal challenges.<\/p>\n<p>Mississippi education officials had said Friday they would follow the guidance by federal authorities calling for transgender students to be treated consistently with their gender identity. They cited a need for a &ldquo;safe and caring school environment.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>The reversal is widely being attributed to&nbsp;Republican lawmakers in the state who vocally denounced the President&rsquo;s actions:<\/p>\n<p>Wednesday, 27 Republican state senators among the GOP&rsquo;s 32-member supermajority sent a letter to Wright and the Board of Education calling for &ldquo;swift and decisive action on this urgent matter.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The federal government is, in effect, trying to blackmail our state by implying that funding for public schools will be withheld should we continue to recognize biological <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/couples\/?mp_code=akftr\">sex<\/a> when setting safety and privacy policies for our schools,&rdquo; the senators wrote. &ldquo;Dr. Wright made the decision to usurp the board&rsquo;s authority and unilaterally issue the policy decision to acquiesce to the illegal demands of the federal government. For this, the superintendent must be held accountable.&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>That followed a letter Tuesday by 11 Republican House members asking Wright to reverse the department&rsquo;s position. The group, including five members of the House Education Committee, told Wright that if she didn&rsquo;t reverse herself, she should resign.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;The policy of allowing <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">boys<\/a> or <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/chaturbate.com\/in\/?tour=R2Xc&#38;campaign=hl4zp&#38;track=gfcsb\">men<\/a> into bathrooms and locker rooms with <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/?mp_code=akftr\">girls<\/a> poses a threat to the safety and well-being of every school-aged <a title=\"\" class=\"aalmanual\" target=\"_blank\"   href=\"https:\/\/www.flirt4free.com\/live\/girls\/?mp_code=akftr\">girl<\/a> in this state,&rdquo; they wrote.<\/p>\n<p>On Tuesday, Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant called for ignoring&nbsp;the guidance issued by President Obama:<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;As I said last week, the Mississippi Department of Education should disregard the Obama administration&rsquo;s so-called guidance regarding public schools&rsquo; bathroom policies.
