C12 Blog Post 4 Trump administration takes back protection of transgender students

According to an article from The Washington Post, on Wednesday the Trump administration revoked the federal guidelines saying that transgender students could use public school bathrooms. Trump's administration is ordering nation's schools to ignore the memo's the Obama administration had in place and worked on for the past two years. The letter that the Trump administration wrote offers no new guidance, and the old memo needs to be withdrawn because of the lack of extensive legal analysis, had confusions and drew legal challenges, and didn't go through the public 'vetting' process. Even though the letter did have any guidance it did say "schools must ensure that all students, including LGBT students, are able to learn and thrive in a safe environment." Many protest are going on now because of revoking the guidelines and we have to wait to see how everything pans out for the transgender students and the Trump administration.
