How is Rolling Back on Transgender Rights Going to Help Students?

I haven't wrote anything about this administration in a while but it's been nonstop garbage that has been coming out of it. From continuing to go after immigrants and Muslims to going through with the Dakota pipe line, repealing the Affordable Care Act to say the least and now rescinding the federal protection for transgender students' to use the public school bathroom that fits their identity. They are making it difficult for trans students to simply be students. This is not going to help them. All students should be treated equally and rolling back on transgender rights will not do that. I hope schools will protect transgender students and not enforce this.

I have to wonder where is Betsy DeVos isn't she supposed to be in charge of Education how can she allow something like this to happen? I can't believe I actually wrote that, DeVos doesn't care what happens to transgender students, she bought herself a job and she's not going to do anything to help anyone. All she's going to do is further this administration's agenda.

This administration seems to enjoy being cruel as they target people and communities simply because they can. It's only been a month, I wonder who they will target next? The ICE has turned into the Gestapo going after people, we have an administration that lies everyday without any consequences and not to mention the continuous conflict of interest for Donald Trump, he still has not released his tax returns, he and his family continue to waste tax payers money added to a growing list of problems.

I'm mad because everyday there is some new injustice being issued out by this administration. They have shown they don't care for anyone or anything. The only thing we can do is continue to resist and fight, this administration is horribly anti-everything.
