Moments ago, CNN caught a breaking news story that the Trump Administration has withdrawn the federal protections of transgender bathrooms in public schools. The administration claims that the protections that Obama tried to enforce fell under Title IX which prohibits sex discrimination. The administration says that the existing guidance did not provide in depth legal analysis of why it falls within Title IX, nor was it put in affect properly. Recently confirmed Betsy DeVos says that this is in the best interest of the schools where it should provide a safe and secure place for students. She says that this is not a mandate, but a moral obligation. Rumor has it though that the word of Betsy DeVos are actually an order from both Trump and Sessions.
