Protecting any groups rights is not just a states issue

Interesting articles from the Huffington Post and the Hill that alludes to the pending development that the Trump Administration will reverse Obama federal guidance on how transgender populations should be treated in public schools (particularly in bathrooms). It would be up to the individual states to determine what rules should be followed. This would be a gross mistake. Leaving these issues of discrimination up to the states is wrong. That is what the South was allowed to do in the Pre-Civil Rights Era. It was wrong then and it is wrong now. There needs to be federal guidelines and enforcement of rights for all.
