over a transgender student’s bathroom access, the latest aftershock of Trump administration moves to undo the legal and policy legacy of former President Barack Obama.

The court’s one-sentence order directed a federal appeals panel to reconsider its ruling from last year requiring a Virginia school board to let Gavin Grimm, a transgender boy, use the boys’ bathroom. The Fourth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals, in Richmond, Va., had based its decision on

, the court asked the Gloucester County school board and the American Civil Liberties Union, which represents Gavin, for their views on how to proceed. Although both parties said they would prefer to proceed with the case, the justices instead asked the lower court to reconsider the issues.

 

No longer able to defer to the federal government’s views on the question, the Fourth Circuit likely will be required to confront directly the unresolved issue of whether and how the federal law prohibiting sex discrimination in education, known as Title IX, applies to transgender individuals.

GO TEXAS!!!

Yes, go Texas.

If the Dems hadn't brought this up, virtually a non issue.  Like the person who said he transitioned from a girl to a boy quite a few years back.  If he just goes to the men's room, no harm no foul.  But I'll bet he'll go into the women's bathroom, just to make a point.  There's no room for common sense.
