NYC Reviews Trump Administration Letter from Eric Adams, Stating Unsafe Conditions in Gender Bathrooms
In a recent campaign event, Davante Adams was questioned about a letter from the US Education Department regarding transgender students' access to facilities in New York City schools. Adams claimed he had no idea what was in the letter, but he has since reviewed it and is exploring options.
Adams has been vocal about his stance on the matter, expressing concern about the safety of allowing young boys in high school showers where young girls are. He has stated that he won't let girls and boys share the same facilities in schools.
This stance is in direct response to socialist mayoral frontrunner Zohran Mamdani's pro-trans policies. Mamdani's campaign platform includes $65 million in public funding for health and other services for transgender New Yorkers, and he aims to make city public schools safe places for every child to learn and grow, regardless of their gender identity.
Mamdani has criticised Adams' comments, calling them "dangerous" and "transphobic," stating they are at odds with the values of the city. The US Education Department Acting Assistant Secretary for Civil Rights, Craig Trainor, has expressed deep concern about NYC DOE's Guidelines to Support Transgender and Gender Expansive Students, claiming the policy could amount to a violation of non-trans students' civil rights.
In a different context, Adams praised city restaurants that have single-use stalls for both genders, stating that they do not have a sign on the door indicating mixed-gender use. This suggests that Adams may be open to more inclusive and less binary solutions in certain areas.
Mayor Adams has also doubled down on his stance, saying he'd look into whether he has the authority to change the schools policy regarding transgender students' access to facilities. The Trump administration has threatened to pull funding from the city over guidelines regarding transgender students, but the search results do not provide the name of the US Education Department official who sent the letter to the city administration.
As the mayoral race continues, Adams has expressed doubt about people fully understanding Mamdani's policies, and he has brought up the bathroom matter on the campaign trail, continuing a tirade against co-ed bathrooms in response to Mamdani's progressive platform.
