A federal judge is standing by a previous ruling that an Indiana transgender student must be allowed to use the boys restroom.
Judge Tanya Walton Pratt, an Obama appointee, has denied a motion from the Metropolitan School District of Martinsville to put on hold a previous injunction forcing John R. Wooden Middle School to allow the transgender student to use the boys bathroom, WTHR-TV reported.
Pratt ruled the district failed to show evidence that proved it would suffer "irreparable harm" if the student was allowed to use the boys restroom.
"In addition, the School District has not presented any new arguments or evidence to demonstrate that the public interest weighs in favor of maintaining the School District’s authority over such matters until more clear and direct guidance on Title IX is provided," Pratt wrote.
The school had previously prevented the transgender student from using the boys restroom, playing on male sports teams, and from being referred to using the pronouns "he" and "him."
The school, which is appealing the original ruling, had argued that Pratt’s injunction "would be disruptive of the school's operations...and undermine the order and authority of the school."

A proper ruling would be that this is not a jurisdiction of the federal courts.................
How hard is it to just give them their own restroom?
Good grief. Do they have any adults in the region?
What I object to is boys using the girls room.
And what does Mitch McConnell think about this or Chuck Schumer?
The groomer was confirmed 95-0 by the US Senate.
Close the restrooms and bring in porta-potties.
Problem solved.
Take that Obama judge.
My son ( a senior in a conservative Pennsylvania high school) says more girls are being “trans” than boys.
It seems to be a fad as many do it for a few months and then stop.
find out where the judge lives and protest outside his house
So, I assume the federal courts have a manual on how everbody can use a urinal? Pretty sure there’s a redneck joke in here someplace?

“Pratt ruled the district failed to show evidence that proved it would suffer “irreparable harm” if the student was allowed to use the boys restroom.”
NO ONE can prove the plaintiff child will suffer “irreparable harm” if they have to use the restroom assigned their biological sex. I hope Indiana appeals and keeps taking it all the way up to SCOTUS.
I have practiced in front of Judge Pratt many times and she is dumbest most far left hack you will ever see.
Places have thrived that… but then the student sue because they are being “singled out”.
Tell the judge “no”.
Would the judge say that the student would suffer “irreparable harm” by using the biologically appropriate restroom?
They DON’T want their own restroom!
Too bad!
Yeah, too bad!
Well, now the boys will get to see a kitty.
