Donald Trump is once again just doing the exact opposite of anything Obama did. Last year, Obama made it clear that public schools must allow transgender children to use the bathroom of the sex they identify with.

Rainbow flags were waved and chants were yelled “"No hate, no fear, trans students are welcome here.” The guidelines were already put on hold by a federal judge before Trump took it a step further to pull it completely.
