Trump revokes transgender bathroom guidelines from Obama era
- 8 years ago
President Donald Trump has lifted landmark guidance issued to public schools in defense of transgender student rights. Obama instructed public schools in May 2016 to allow transgender students to use the bathroom of their choice, or the federal government would withhold funding. The Justice and Education departments will continue to study the legal issues involved, according to the new, superseding guidance that will be sent to public schools across the country.
