They argue the President went too far in telling every school district in the country that they should allow transgender students to use the bathroom of their choice. CNN correspondent Nick Valencia is live in Atlanta with more. Hi, Nick.</s>NICK VALENCIA, CNN CORRESPONDENT: This legal battle is just warming up. Good morning, Alisyn. Officials in 11 states and three school districts are suing the feds after a controversial order was handed down just a couple of weeks ago, that order of course saying that transgender students in public schools must use the bathroom of their choice, not the one that necessarily corresponds with the gender on their birth certificate. Immediately after those guidelines were issued by the feds, we saw the Lieutenant Governor of Texas come out in perhaps the most firm stance against it. He is now being joined by nearly a dozen states. Here is what they said in that lawsuit filed. In part, it said, defendants have conspired to turn workplaces and educational settings across the country into laboratories for a massive social experiment, flouting the Democratic process and running roughshod over common sense policies protecting children and basic privacy rights. Leaders in many of those states see this as a battle for the moral ground of the country, a battle for conservative values. The feds have responded to those allegations and to the lawsuit, saying in part, schools have a responsibility to provide a safe and nondiscriminatory environment for all students, including transgender students. President Obama has said himself that this is not a battle for morality, but a battle for what's right in this country. He says that this will protect those most vulnerable to bullying in public schools.
