CWN Editor's Note: The Supreme Court has declined to hear an appeal of a lower court decision on transgender bathrooms.
The Metropolitan School District of Martinsville (IN) had a policy that boys should use boys’ bathrooms, and girls should use girls’ bathrooms. The parents of a middle school girl who now describes herself as a boy filed suit. Siding with the parents, the 7th US Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that the school district violated the girl’s constitutional rights by not permitting her to use the boys’ bathroom.
The school district appealed to the Supreme Court; by not hearing the appeal, the Supreme Court has let the lower court decision stand.
