At the Conservative Political Action Conference this past week, President Trump must have been trying to show in his unique bombastic way that he, the Donald, was perhaps the greatest civil rights advocate since Martin Luther King Jr.
Why else would the self-serving Trump declare: “We all salute with pride, the same American flag. And we all are equal, totally equal in the eyes of almighty God. We’re equal.”
All it takes is a flag?
But apparently, some are more equal than others are, especially when it comes to the transgendered.
That’s even though Title IX’s clause on sex discrimination was supposed to take care of that in all of education.
But Trump’s words don’t match his deeds, when it comes to civil rights or bathroom rights. Trump, who just a month ago vowed to protect the rights of all Americans including the LGBTQIA, is going backward.
A day before he proclaimed to the conservative right how equal we all are, Trump went back on his promise and rolled back the Obama administration’s guidance on Title IX to school districts on the safety and inclusion of trans students.
