Wasserman Schultz Statement on Obama Administration’s Joint Guidance to Help Schools Ensure the Civil Rights of Transgender Students

Washington, DC – U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-23) issued the following statement today after the Obama Administration issued joint guidance to help schools ensure the civil rights of transgender students:

"The Obama Administration’s joint decision between the Department of Education and Department of Justice to declare that all our children - no matter how they identify - are safe, valued and legally protected from discrimination in every public school is another important step in our nation’s march towards freedom and equality for all people. As a parent of three children in public schools, I know how difficult growing up can be, and I am certain this decision will send the message loudly and clearly to every child in America: we love you and we support you."
