In a reversal from the policies of former President Barack Obama, the Trump administration announced Friday that they were not going to challenge a nationwide injunction issued last year against the directive.
In a statement emailed to The Christian Post on Monday, American Family Association President Tim Wildmon said that his organization was "pleased the Department of Justice has withdrawn the motion filed by the previous administration at the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals regarding President Obama's transgender bathroom directive."
"This is an indication that Attorney General Jeff Sessions and President Trump will not allow the Department of Justice to be used to impose radical social experimentation on America's students. For America's families, this is welcomed news," stated Wildmon.
The Family Research Council directed CP to a statement released Monday by their President Tony Perkins in which he also welcomed the decision to drop the defense.
"The Trump administration is right to stop the legal defense of an indefensible edict that violates the rights of parents and the privacy of schoolchildren nationwide," stated Perkins.
"While this is a welcome first step, we are hopeful that the Trump administration will formally withdraw the Obama edict so that parents and schools will remain free to protect the privacy and safety of every student."
