Today I read an article on CNN titled "Judge Temporarily Blocks Obama School Transgender Bathroom Policy". This article talked about how a Texas federal judge issued an injunction that blocks federal Government agencies from acting against states that do no agree with the Obama Administration's policy on public bathrooms in schools. This policy states that people should go to whatever bathroom matches with their sexual identity; not their actual gender. Many people believe that this rule protects the countries transgender community, while others believe that it puts students' privacy and rights at risk. At first, if a state did not follow this policy there would be consequences. However, now that this Texas judge has spoken out, the court has overruled this policy. Many people are excited about this decision, but others are disappointed and see it as "a step in the wrong direction" for our country.
