O'Malley Backs Obama on Transgender Rights in Public Schools, While Clinton Stays Silent

This week, the Department of Education ruled that public schools must grant transgender students unrestricted access to the bathrooms, locker rooms, and open shower facilities of their preference.

Governor Martin O’Malley of Maryland, one of the three Democrats remaining in the 2016 presidential race, fully supports the Obama administration’s policy. “Yes, he supports” the policy, O’Malley’s spokeswoman Lis Smith told THE WEEKLY STANDARD in an email. But the campaign of Democratic frontrunner Hillary Clinton has not responded to emails asking if she supports the Obama administration’s ruling.
