Tell the Trump Administration to Protect Transgender Students!

audacityofaction:

The Trump Administration’s Departments of Justice and Education, led
by Jeff Sessions and Betsy DeVos, are preparing to rescind the Obama
Administration’s Title IX guidance detailing schools’ obligations for
protecting transgender students.

Title IX prohibits sex
discrimination in any federally-funded education program or activity.
Last year, President Obama issued guidelines clarifying the federal
government’s position regarding Title IX and how it extends transgender
students. Through these guidelines, the
Department currently asserts that Title IX’s prohibition against
sex-based discrimination extends to claims of discrimination based on
gender identity (i.e. Transgender students can not be discriminated
against in education programs receiving federal funding.)

We need to send a message to the Trump Administration and tell them
that we expect them to protect transgender youth from discrimination.
Please call the Department of Justice — 202-514-2000 — and the
Department of Education — 1-800-872-5327 — and ask that DeVos and
Sessions maintain the Obama Administration’s guidance protecting
transgender youth.
