The article reflects Obama's urges to have schools maintain use for Transgender students.The Justice Department and the Education Department have made their best efforts in order for students to feel comfortable and safe in their schools and allow them to be able to use these school bathrooms. "no student should ever feel like they are unwelcome at a school or college campus." education secretary John King Jr. guidance offices and other areas specifically advise and explain that they may not restrict students from using the locker rooms and bathrooms. Obama intends and strictly urges schools to continue to follow the policy in those manners, even in response to the recent law being enacted in North Carolina. It also explains that schools that have sex-segregated activities may not keep students from participating if that is the gender they identify by.
This being a tricky subject for both sides, but is shocking the reality of the decisions made by the Appellate courts. In 2016 it amazes me that we are still having controversial issues regarding this problem, If a poll was taken of young people today, the amount of them who would remain neutral or not have a preference on the subject I believe would vastly cover the amount who do. If this policy continues to stay enacted I believe there will be many court of claims court cases in the following years trying to prevent laws like this from being enacted and to argue and try the ones that already were and are. Though the courts have jurisdiction over the recent laws enacted, Obama can still use his power to help make children in these circumstances feel safe.
