US President Donald J. Trump
appears to fully ready to implement most/all of his campaign promises during
the last concluded US presidential election, irrespective of who such
implementation affects or not in a bid to bring morality values and sanity back
to the United States.
The latest of such is his resolve
to revoke former president Obama’s guidelines which gave some kind of
preferential treatment to transgender students to make use of any bathroom of their
choice, which so many persons have said gave sexual predators a upper hand to
cause more harms to innocent people.
The proposed document reveals
that President Trump will reverse an initiative that poses threats to schools
with the pulling out of federal funding if they force transgender students to
use particular bathrooms against their will as was introduced by the Obama
administration in May 2016.
Though during his campaign to
become the Republican presidential nominee, Mr Trump stated that transgender
people "should be able to use the bathroom that they feel is
appropriate".
However, the President changed
his position after coming under criticism from fellow Republicans.
On Tuesday, White House press
secretary Sean Spicer said Mr Trump's "view has been for a long time that
this is not something the federal government should be involved in, this is a
states' rights issue".
Statistics shows that some
150,000 American children (0.7%) aged between 13 and 17 identify as
transgender, according to a study by The Williams Institute at the UCLA School
of Law.
