President Donald Trump is reversing one of former president Obama policies on Transgender bathrooms. The Obama administration has allowed that transgender students be allowed to use the bathrooms of their gender identity in schools, or they risk federal funding.
The new sheriff in town, and a conservative president Trump, is looking to reverse the policy. Though the Obama policy was put on hold by a federal judge, arguing that states and schools should be able to make the decision without federal interference, Trump administration has decided to revoke the policy.
In protest of the new decision, more than 200 people gathered in front of the White house and waved the rainbow flag, chanting;
"No hate, no fear, trans students are welcome here."
Rachel Tiven, chief executive of Lambda Legal, which advocates for LGBT people in a statement said;
We all know that Donald Trump is a bully, but his attack on transgender children today is a new low
A conservative judge and Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton, who spearheaded the challenging the Obama policies on the bathroom guideline hailed the new Trump decision on the bill, and said;
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.
