The Supreme Court has declined to hear a case challenging a Pennsylvania school district’s bathroom policy allowing transgender students to use bathrooms of their choice.
The conservative Alliance Defending Freedom is representing a group of students in the case, Doe v. Boyertown Area School District, alleging that the district’s policy violates student privacy.
ADF has represented students and school districts in similar lawsuits across the country.The U.S. 3rd Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously ruled last year that the Pennsylvania school district can continue allowing transgender students to use bathrooms that align with their gender identity. The court later revised its ruling, toning down language that said federal law protects that right.
