WHO OBVIOUSLY HAD SPOKEN VERY 
DIFFERENTLY DURING THE CAMPAIGN.
>> ERIN, IT IS A MOVE TONIGHT 
FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE 
AND THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION 
WHICH BOTH AGENCIES JUST 
RELEASED SEPARATE LETTERS WITHIN
THE LAST FEW MOMENTS OR SO.
AND WHAT THIS IS DOING, IS 
ESSENTIALLY ISSUING A DIRECTIVE 
TO SCHOOLS TO DISREGARD THE 
ORDER THAT PRESIDENT OBAMA 
ISSUED A YEAR AGO LAST YEAR 
ABOUT STUDENT RESTROOMS AND 
TRANSGENDERED STUDENTS.
THIS IS SOMETHING THAT HAS BEEN 
HANGING OVER THE GOVERNMENT HERE
AND THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION 
WITH THE SUPREME COURT CASE 
PENDING IN A VIRGINIA CASE 
DECIDED TO ISSUE THIS DIRECTIVE 
SAYING THAT THEY WILL NOT STAND 
BY THE ORDER THAT THE PRESIDENT 
SIGNED LAST YEAR, PRESIDENT 
OBAMA SIGNED LAST YEAR.
SO IT IS CERTAINLY SOMETHING 
THAT IS CONTROVERSIAL IN THIS 
CONTEXT, BUT WE ARE STILL 
WAITING FOR A STATEMENT FROM THE
WHITE HOUSE TONIGHT.
BUT WE JUST GOT ONE FROM JUSTICE
AND THE DEPARTMENT OF EDUCATION 
WHICH OF COURSE HAVE THE PURVIEW

FASCINATING DETAILS THERE WAS A 
MEETING IN THE OVAL OFFICE 
YESTERDAY AND SHE WAS AT ODDS 
WITH THE ATTORNEY GENERAL JEFF 
SESSIONS AND SHE WAS SAYING THAT
THERE NEEDS TO BE PROTECTIONS 
FOR STUDENTS.
SHE SAID THAT'S WHAT SHE IS 
SWORN DO HERE AND SHE IS VERY 
CONCERTIVE, YES, BUT IF HER HOME
STATE SHE HAS ALSO BEEN 
SUPPORTIVE OF GUY RIGHTS AND SHE
MADE A STRONG ARGUMENT FOR 
STUDENT PROTECTION.
SO THERE IS ACTUALLY A PIECE OF 
INFORMATION IN THE LETTER 
TONIGHT THAT SAYS STUDENTS STILL
SHOULD BE PRO PROTECTED.
AND THIS IS GIVING THE DIRECTIVE
BACK TO THE STATES, BACK TO 
LOCAL SCHOOLS, WHAT THEY SHOULD 
DO TO PROTECT STUDENTS.
BUT I AM TOLD SHE WAS ARGUING 
STRONGLY FOR THERE TO BE STUDENT
PROTECTIONS HERE.
BUT A
