Trump Repealing Obama’s Transgender Bathroom Laws


The Trump administration Wednesday told public school districts across the nation that they no longer have to allow transgender students to use the bathroom that matches their gender identity.

The word came in a statement from Education Secretary Betsey DeVos that she was withdrawing a directive issued under President Barack Obama that required school districts to let transgender students use whichever bathroom conformed to their gender identity or risk the loss of federal funding.

At the same time, the Trump administration told the Supreme Court that the Obama administration bathroom directive had been withdrawn. 
The court was scheduled to hear a challenge to the directive next month

The Trump withdrawal of the Obama directive drew immediate criticism from gay and lesbian groups, which accused him of backtracking on a campaign pledge to protect transgender students.
“What could possibly motivate a blind and cruel attack on young children like this?” asked Chad Griffin, president of the Human Rights Campaign, which bills itself as the nation’s largest civil rights organization for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer people. 

“These transgender students simply want to go to school in the morning without fear of discrimination or harassment.

The consequences of this decision will no doubt be heartbreaking But new guidance from the Trump administration cautioned that transgender students are still protected from bullying and other discrimination.

The Vermont senator criticized White House Deputy Budget Director nominee Russell Vought for his Christian beliefs in relation to Islam. Sanders declared he would oppose Vought on those grounds, basing his decision on an article Vought wrote in defense of Wheaton College. “This is the fundamental problem,” Vought wrote. “Muslims do not simply have a deficient theology. They do not know God because they have rejected Jesus Christ his Son, and they stand condemned.” “It is hateful,” Sanders said of the writing. “It is Islamophobic. And it is an insult to over a billion Muslims throughout the world.” Sanders went on to grill Vought, asking him if he believed that the statement in

Elder Patriot – The Democracy Integrity Project (TDIP) was founded by Daniel Jones, a former staffer to Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA), on January 31, 2017.   It organized as a Washington-based nonprofit.   TDIP is essentially a  multimillion-dollar stealth campaign ostensibly focused on trying to rehabilitate the discredited Steele dossier for partisan political purposes.
