Megyn Kelly on Rahm Emanuel Trying to Change the Subject When Pressed About "Trans" Issues
What was said
"Our reading scores and math scores are in the tank. 50% of our kids cannot read or do math at grade level. And we're going to talk about bathroom access."
Rahm Emanuel argues that debates about trans-related policies, including bathroom access, distract from poor literacy and numeracy outcomes in US schools. Pressed by New Yorker editor David Remnick, he says he supported bathroom access but insists the priority should remain reading, maths and graduation rates.
