Trans Bathroom

C12-1 

  Trump administration has revoked Obama's transgender rule. This rule stated that students could use which ever bathroom they wanted to based on their gender orientation, defended by the law Title IX (according to NPR). By taking this rule away, Trump isn't really accomplishing much. He's just provoking more protest. Which will lead to large movements all across the country where people use the opposite sex bathroom. This is not proven yet, but it's reasonable to infer this since it's how the public has responded to other Trump executive action. The Justice of education said that the Obama documents don't "contain extensive legal analysis or explain how the position is consistent with the express language of Title IX, nor did they undergo any formal public process. This interpretation has given rise to significant litigation regarding school restrooms and locker room." They're basically saying that because Obama didn't use fancy language or go through a formal process, this rule is invalid. Ok but how but the First Amendment? How about when Thomas Jefferson said "we hold these truths to be self-evident that all men are created equal."? Let students use whichever bathroom they want, it's their constitutional right.
