Grimm v. Glouchester County School Board, the court announced on Monday. The decision upholds a lower court’s decision supporting trans and nonbinary students’ rights to use bathrooms and other facilities that match their gender identity.Both the U.S.
District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia and the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit ruled that the Glouchester County School Board in Virginia, where then-high schooler Gavin Grimm was a student, violated Title IX and the Equal Protection Clause by prohibiting Grimm from using the same facilities as the other boys at his school.
The school made Grimm use separate restrooms.Grimm’s case made it to the Supreme Court before in 2017, but the judges chose not to hear the case.
