We may have wanted to dump Trump during his election, but praise God for President’ Trump’s recent reversal of Obama’s transgender bathroom policies requiring public schools to allow transgender students to use the bathroom that matches with their gender identity. Each state and school district will now have to decide what to do.
In a letter to schools across the nation, President Trump’s administration said the policy was removed “in order to further and more completely consider the legal issues involved.”
Secretary of Education Betsy DeVos stated, “This is an issue best solved at the state and local level. Schools, communities, and families can find—and in many cases have found—solutions that protect all students.”
Of course, Democrats disagreed with the move. House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi stated, “Withdrawing the historic guidance from the Obama Administration to protect transgender students is a cruel blow to an already vulnerable group of young people.”
This issue will obviously continue to draw more attention and division amongst both parties, but it serves as a win for Christians. Of course, being on The Lord’s side does not mean that we want the rights of individuals violated. It simply means that we don’t want the agenda of the enemy pushed and endorsed.
