(Worthy News) – A divided Supreme Court agreed Wednesday to temporarily block a lower court order that had cleared the way for a transgender male high school student to use the boys’ bathroom in a Virginia public school this fall.
The ruling is a victory for the school board and a loss — for now — for Gavin Grimm, the student who won at the lower court level.
The case comes as the issue of transgender policies have caused controversy across the country. Most notably, the Department of Justice is suing North Carolina over its law concerning transgender bathrooms. On Monday, a federal court heard a separate challenge to the law from the American Civil Liberties Union and other groups. [ Source ]
