DeVos, reportedly opposed to rolling back transgender protections, defends the changesBy: Sarah Darville | Chalkbeat | February 26, 2017If Education Secretary Betsy DeVos opposed rolling back protections for transgender students behind the scenes, she wasn’t letting it show last week when she spoke to many of the country’s staunchest conservatives.“This issue was a very huge example of the Obama administration’s overreach, to suggest a one-size-fits-all, federal government approach, top-down approach, to issues that are best dealt with and solved at a personal level and a local level,” DeVos said.“I have made clear from the moment I have been in this job that it’s our job to protect students and to do that to the fullest extent that we can,” she continued. “And also to provide students, parents, and teachers with more flexibility around how education is delivered and how education is experienced, and to protect and preserve personal freedoms.”Continued: http://ctmirror.org/2017/02/26/devos-reportedly-opposed-to-rolling-back-transgender-protections-defends-the-changes/
