Supreme Court Allows Transgender Student Bathroom Access in South Carolina

The Supreme Court declined South Carolina's emergency request to enforce a law that cuts school funding if trans students use bathrooms aligning with their gender identity, following a lower court ruling that the law likely violates constitutional protections. The case involves a transgender student suspended for using the boys' restroom, and the decision leaves open the possibility of future legal action on similar issues.

GOP's Mike Johnson Enforces Transgender Bathroom Ban in U.S. House

House Speaker Mike Johnson has announced a ban on transgender individuals using bathrooms that align with their gender identity on the House side of the Capitol, citing the need for single-sex facilities. This decision follows pressure from GOP members to restrict Rep.-elect Sarah McBride, the first transgender member of Congress, from using women's restrooms. Johnson emphasized the policy as pro-woman, while Democrats, including McBride, criticized it as a distraction from more pressing issues.

"Supreme Court Refuses to Hear Indiana School's Transgender Bathroom Appeal"

The US Supreme Court declined to hear an Indiana public school district's appeal to defend its policy of segregating bathrooms by sex, which prevented transgender students from using the bathrooms of the gender they identify with. The lower court had ruled that this policy violated the students' constitutional rights and federal anti-discrimination law. The case originated when the mother of a 7th-grade transgender boy won her lawsuit challenging the school district's policy, and the 7th US Circuit Court of Appeals upheld an order allowing bathroom access corresponding with the student's gender identity. The Supreme Court's decision not to hear the appeal comes amid a nationwide debate over transgender rights in schools.

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.
