Fayetteville Transgender Student "Disheartened" By Battle Over Public School Civil Rights

Last month, the U.S. Departments of Education and Justice issued guidance to public schools to ensure the civil rights of transgender students. Under the federal public education law known as Title IX, students enrolled in federally funded public schools are protected from discrimination based on sex. A dozen states have gone on record in defiance of the new White House guidance--including Arkansas-- leaving both schools and transgender students caught in the middle.
