Betsy DeVos calls Obama's transgender bathroom rules an 'overreach'
  • 7 years ago
Education Secretary Betsy DeVos said she supports President Trump's rollback of Obama administration guidelines on transgender students' choice of bathrooms in schools. This issue was a very huge example of the Obama administration's overreach, a one-size-fits-all, top-down approach," DeVos said at the Conservative Political Action Conference. These matters should be handled at a "personal and local level." She said, however, "It's our job to protect students" and "to protect personal freedoms."
