WMAL Interview: ELIZABETH SCHULTZ - Fairfax School Board Member

INTERVIEW -- ELIZABETH SCHULTZ - Fairfax County Public School board member

Schultz knows this issue well because Fairfax County School Board meetings were at the forefront of debate on this issue.

The Obama administration is planning to issue a sweeping decree telling every public school district in the country to allow transgender students to use the bathrooms that match their gender identity. The letter to school districts that will go out Friday describing what they should do to ensure that none of their students are discriminated against, signed by officials of the Justice Department and Department of Education, does not have the force of law. But it contains an implicit threat: Schools that do not abide by the Obama administration’s interpretation of the law could face lawsuits or a loss of federal aid.
