BOSTON — President Donald Trump's revocation of a set of public accommodations "guidelines" for how to treat transgender public school students enacted by former president Barack Obama's administration prompted howls of criticism this week, especially from Massachusetts Attorney General Maura Healey.
Healey on Thursday organized a press conference, centered on a 7-year-old transgender boy from Melrose, and proceeded to rip into the Trump administration's decision to leave the transgender public school bathroom and changing room policy matters up to the states.
"America, of course, has had no monarchy. The Trump ascendancy, nevertheless, was the repudiation of the Bush and Clinton family dynasties—no small accomplishment, and something that would have been inconceivable two long years ago."
