Apple issues statement on Trump change on transgender guidance
February 23rd 2017
This week, the Trump administration recalled guidance issued from the U.S. Department of Education under President Obama. The guidance was suspended under a court order and now the situation leaves individual states to determine how to handle the issue.
Apple in a statement to Axios:
"Apple believes everyone deserves a chance to thrive in an environment free from stigma and discrimination," the company said in a statement to Axios. "We support efforts toward greater acceptance, not less, and we strongly believe that transgender students should be treated as equals. We disagree with any effort to limit or rescind their rights and protections."
