In a complete reversal of the Obama administration's position,
President Donald Trump's administration formally rescinded past guidance
on transgender bathroom protections in public schools.
Letters from the Justice and Education
departments late Wednesday notified the Supreme Court and the nation's
public schools that the administration is changing its position on the
issue.
Former President Barack Obama instructed public
schools that they must allow transgender students to use bathrooms and
locker rooms that align with a child's chosen gender identity. The
guidance was issued as an interpretation of Title IX, which prohibits
sex discrimination in education.
Now, the administration is revoking key guidance
on which that policy was based. The letter informs the court that the
Justice Department's Civil Rights Division will no longer "rely on the
views expressed in that guidance, and instead will consider further and
more completely the legal issues involved."
