Alpha Chi Omega – You’re Wrong About Your Stance On Accepting “Anyone Who Identifies As A Woman.” And Here’s Why.
February 23, 2017It’s official. The Trump administration has reversed the Obama administration’s transgender bathroom directive, which essentially “suggested” that schools allow students to choose bathrooms and/or locker rooms based on gender identity– not biology.
A document submitted to the Supreme Court by the Solicitor General’s office said that the Obama-era directive issued this past May did not “undergo any formal public process” or explain how the directive was “consistent with the express language of Title IX,” the federal law outlawing sex discrimination in education and activities.
Don’t freak out, lefties. The anti-bullying safeguards are still in place. No need to have a cow.
“Congress, state legislatures, and local governments are in a position to adopt appropriate policies or laws addressing this issue,” Attorney General Jeff Sessions said in a statement. “The Department of Justice remains committed to the proper interpretation and enforcement of Title IX and to its protections for all students, including LGBTQ students, from discrimination, bullying, and harassment.”

Legal experts say the change in position could impact pending court cases involving the federal sex discrimination law, including a case before set to be heard by the Supreme Court in March, involving a transgender teen who was denied bathroom access in Virginia.
It’s still not over, but this is certainly a step in the direction of sanity.
