President Trump Reverses Obama’s Lawless Bathroom Directive

Feb 22, 2017

President Donald Trump is expected to revoke the Obama administration’s lawless directive that sought to impose a so-called transgender or “bathroom” directive on public schools. The Obama directive would have forced schools to allow boys to uses the bathrooms and locker rooms with which they subjectively self-identify rather than their biological sex. Obama’s directive threatened school funding if schools did not comply.

According to a White House official, President Donald Trump believes the issue is for states to decide without the involvement of the federal government.

This reversal from the Trump administration could have an impact on pending court cases, including Lafferty v. Fairfax, where Liberty Counsel will be arguing before the Virginia Supreme Court next week involving a “transgender” teen who was denied bathroom access.
