US EditionSouth Carolina Asks Supreme Court to Allow Enforcement of Transgender Bathroom Policy
South Carolina challenges a federal court ruling favoring a transgender student's bathroom rights, seeking Supreme Court approval to enforce a law affecting 25% of school funding.
- South Carolina officials requested the Supreme Court's permission to enforce a bathroom policy restricting transgender students from using facilities that match their gender identity, which is tied to education funding.
- The 4th Circuit Court of Appeals blocked South Carolina from enforcing this policy against a transgender student identified as John Doe after he filed a lawsuit alleging violations of the Constitution's Equal Protection Clause and Title IX.
- South Carolina officials argue that the restroom policy reflects the will of the General Assembly and is not discriminatory, urging the Supreme Court to reinstate the measure while litigation is pending.
- The outcome of this case may set a national precedent for the rights of LGBTQ+ youth, as the Supreme Court has previously avoided direct rulings on transgender bathroom disputes.
