" Presudent Donald Trump's administration on Wednesday revoked landmark guidance to public schools letting transgender students use the bathrooms of their choice, reversing a signature initiative of former Democratic President Barack Obama.
Reversing the Obama guidelines stands to inflame passions in the latest conflict in America between believers in traditional values and social progressives, and is likely to prompt more of the street protests that followed Trump's Nov. 8 election.
Obama had instructed public schools last May to let transgender students use the bathrooms matching their chosen gender identity, threatening to withhold funding for schools that did not comply. Transgender people hailed the step as victory for their civil rights.".....

Turns out that America is just an elaborate tyrant trap for a stupid guy like that. And man, we caught a doosey this time! Be careful. Don't get too close to the cage! I guess we'll just marvel at his ineffectual authoritarianism for a couple years and then send him back into the wild in 2018 via impeachment? The states will pick up the slack in the meantime. The state leaders that don't will only debase themselves further and get tossed out of office soon enough.
