Supreme Court Refuses to Hear Cases on Transgender Student Bathroom Access

The Supreme Court declined to intervene in the debate over bathrooms for transgender students by rejecting an appeal from an Indiana public school district. Federal appeals courts are divided on whether school policies enforcing restrictions on which bathrooms transgender students can use violate federal law or the Constitution. Legal battles over transgender rights are ongoing across the country, and at least nine states are restricting transgender students to bathrooms that match the sex they were assigned at birth.
