Education Secretary Betsy DeVos slams Obama's transgender bathroom rule as 'overreach'

ABC News(WASHINGTON) —  Education Secretary Betsy DeVos said she supports President Trump’s rollback of Obama administration guidelines on transgender students’ choice of bathrooms in schools.

During a Q&A at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) on Thursday, DeVos said the previous president’s guidance issued last year to public schools was a “very huge example of the Obama administration’s overreach.”

She said, however, “It’s our job to protect students” and “to protect personal freedoms.”
