Trump reverses Obama's Transgender Bathroom Guidance, Outrage Sparks C12-2

Last May, President Obama created guidelines to public schools across the nation to allow students to use whichever restroom they identify with by gender. He did this by threatening to stop funding if the nation did not comply with him. It was a huge step forward for the LGBTQ community. However, Wednesday afternoon President Trump decided to bring it a step back, and went back on Obama's act. He stated it as a states issue instead of a federal, and reversed the act. Many of the LGBTQ community are outraged, and it started protesting around DC and the rest of the country. Some people aren't even sure its legal, since it was still being reviewed by a federal judge.
