The U.S. Supreme Court handed transgender students and allies a victory on Tuesday by declining to hear a case on whether Indiana schools can block students from using restrooms that match their gender identities. The Court's refusal leaves in place a lower appeals court ruling that upheld the rights of trans students' rights to access the correct bathrooms.
In August, the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit heard a case involving three trans boys attending schools in Martinsville and Terre Haute, Indiana. Their middle and high schools blocked their access to the boys' restroom even though the state has no law banning trans students from using the correct facilities.
