President Donald Trump's administration on Wednesday revoked landmark guidance to public schools letting transgender students use the bathrooms of their choice, reversing a signature initiative of former Democratic President Barack Obama.
Reversing the Obama guidelines stands to inflame passions in the latest conflict in America between believers in traditional values and social progressives, and is likely to prompt more of the street protests that followed Trump's Nov. 8 election.
Obama had instructed public schools last May to let transgender students use the bathrooms matching their chosen gender identity, threatening to withhold funding for schools that did not comply. Transgender people hailed the step as victory for their civil rights.

Okay everybody, back in the closet. Our individual federal civil rights are apparently a state's rights issue. May I be the first AWer to say, "Fuck You, Trump, you worthless puppet of hypocritical Christian Conservatives for this newest affront to personal liberty and safety."
