TITLE: Texas, 12 states to ask judge to stall Obama transgender bathroom order
SENTENCE 1: The hearing in Fort Worth is the latest in the battle between the federal government and various states opposed to the policy change.
SENTENCE 2: The Obama administration's order followed a Justice Department lawsuit against North Carolina, which had passed a law requiring people in the state to only use public restrooms that correspond with their gender at birth.
SENTENCE 3: District Judge Reed O'Connor will hear arguments over the states’ request for a preliminary injunction to halt the Obama directive just weeks before school re-opens for the fall.

Bias label: moderately
Annotator rationales:
If the sentence implies that Texas and 12 other states are justified in opposing the Obama transgender bathroom order by seeking to stall it, then it fails to acknowledge the broader implications of such actions, which could perpetuate discrimination and deny transgender individuals their basic rights, undermining the principles of equality and inclusivity.
