Transgender youth are vulnerable and misunderstood. The Obama Administration recognized these challenges and took steps to protect transgender youth in public schools by providing guidelines to public school districts across the country on how to ensure a safe and affirming learning environment for all students. The Trump Administration is considering rolling back these protections, which could endanger our transgender youth by opening them up to federally sanctioned harrassment, discrimination and vlolence at school without legal recourse.

Our public schools must provide a safe and affirming learning environment for all students.
