“The Campaign for Southern Equality condemns the action taken by the Department of Justice and Department of Education this evening seeking to undermine protections for transgender students. No child should be denied access to basic facilities or subjected to discriminatory treatment and that’s exactly what is threatened by this new, reckless directive from the Trump Administration.
“The reality is that the protections of Title IX are still in effect for transgender students. We will fight every day to ensure that these protections remain in place,” says Rev. Jasmine Beach-Ferrara, Executive Director of the Campaign for Southern Equality.
