Controversial
U.S President, Donald Trump has revoked the rights given to transgender
students in public schools to use any bathroom of their choic
President Donald Trump signing an executive order as Vice President Mike Pence watch
President Donald Trump's administration on Wednesday, revoked
landmark guidance to public schools letting transgender students use the
bathrooms of their choice, reversing a signature initiative of former
Democratic President Barack Obama.
Reversing the Obama guidelines stands to inflame passions in the
latest conflict in America between believers in traditional values and
social progressives, and is likely to prompt more of the street protests
that followed Trump's Nov. 8 election.
Obama had instructed public schools last May to let transgender
students use the bathrooms matching their chosen gender identity,
threatening to withhold funding for schools that did not comply.
Transgender people hailed the step as victory for their civil rights.
Trump, a Republican who took office last month, rescinded those
guidelines, even though they had been put on hold by a federal judge,
arguing that states and public schools should have the authority to make
their own decisions without federal interference.
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.
About 200 people gathered in front of the White House to protest against Trump's action, waving rainbow flags and chanting: "No hate, no fear, trans students are welcome here."
The rainbow flag is the symbol of lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender, or LGBT, people.
"We all know that Donald Trump is a bully, but his attack on transgender children today is a new low," said Rachel Tiven, chief executive of Lambda Legal, which advocates for LGBT people.
Conservatives such as Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who
spearheaded the lawsuit challenging the Obama guidance, hailed the Trump
administration action.
"Our fight over the bathroom directive has always been about
former President Obama's attempt to bypass Congress and rewrite the laws
to fit his political agenda for radical social change," said Paxton, a Republican.
Transgender legal advocates have criticized the "states' rights" argument, saying federal law and civil rights are matters for the federal government to enforce, not the states.
White House spokesman, Sean Spicer said the administration was
pressed to act now because of the pending U.S. Supreme Court case, G.G.
versus Gloucester County School Board.
That case pits a Virginia transgender boy, Gavin Grimm, against
officials who want to deny him use of the boys' room at his high school.
Although the Justice Department is not a party in the case, it
typically would want to make its views heard. The Trump administration
action on Wednesday also withdrew an Education Department letter in
support of Grimm's case.
"I've faced my share of adversaries in rural Virginia. I never
imagined that my government would be one of them. We will not be beaten
down by this administration," Grimm, 17, told the protest outside the White House.
