INDIANAPOLIS (AP) — A federal judge issued a preliminary injunction Friday ordering a central Indiana middle school to allow a transgender student to have access to the boys restroom.
The order issued by U.S. District Judge Tanya Walton Pratt requires John R. Wooden Middle School to allow the seventh-grader identified only as A.C. to have access to the restroom while litigation continues.
Pratt cited Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. Title IX protects people from discrimination based on sex in education programs or activities that receive federal financial assistance.
“The overwhelming majority of federal courts — including the Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit — have recently examined transgender education-discrimination claims under Title IX and concluded that preventing a transgender student from using a school restroom consistent with the student’s gender identity violates Title IX. This Court concurs,” Pratt wrote in her ruling.
“The law is clear: denying transgender students their right to use the correct restroom is discrimination,” Stevie Pactor, an ACLU of Indiana attorney, said in a statement. “We hope that public schools and legislators will take notice and forgo future challenges by providing equal treatment to all students.”
“We are happy that, with this order, our client will have the same opportunities as his peers to learn, grow, and succeed at school,” Megan Stuart, an attorney for Indiana Legal Services, said in the statement. “His worries should be about things like homework and friendships, not whether he can use a restroom.”

Given them their own bathroom and be done with it.
Men Women Transgenders
Man I’ll tell ya, back in my days, the boys restroom was always a smelly, damp, littered, and unpleasant place. It was a place to avoid if at all possible.
So, now if a kid identifies as a cat. Is the school obligated to provide a litterbox for said kid? These kids are mentally ill and need big-time help....like in Geneva or someplace.
M W ?
So, she/it got permission for school to use the boys’ restroom. Will she/it need permission for ALL the places she/it’d need to go, such as restaurants, stores, sporting events, everywhere? Will she/it have a ‘boy’s/men’s bathroom’ pass for everywhere she/it goes? That just looks like she/it is asking for trouble.
Long as (he_) learns to pee standing up.
The thing about these decisions is that there really is no law which affirms « gender identity » in a way that would bind the courts.
Democrat policy:
Power for WOKE sexual alarmists...
Student loan forgiveness for the irresponsible
Assisted admittance for illegals breaking our laws - with citizenship dangled as reward
Free phones so Mexican Cartels can stay in touch with their victims.
Prosecutors letting criminals out of jail before their victims are out of the hospital.
Keep lying about and to the black community...
Drawing down our strategic oil reserves to cover for incompetent energy policies ‘UNTIL’ the election... Biden’s liars cheat... risking our security.
Sexual grooming of all children in the name of making children of Sexual Alarmists feel ‘better?’?
Lies by the MSM that liberals are more conservative than they are... (trot out totally powerless democrats that no one has ever heard of - - for MSM interviews)
Lies by the MSM that Republicans are tax and spend (trot out Rick Scott and Mitt Romney) for MSM interviews...
Lies by “Homeland” that they’re working to control the border when all they’re doing is seeking more funding so they can distributing more illegals around the country. A pox on the human filth running ‘Catholic Charities’ - an enabling group that has been totally taken over by WOKE Marxists.

I believe they have that type of thing in the porn shops already for girls to use on girls. Those lesbians have their means of one of them being the “guy” while the other plays the chick roll. Then I guess they swap over. Two guys already have the “equipment” to play both rolls!!! Yuck.
Dude, you didn’t go over there looking for that did you??? Man!!! LOL.
The “correct” restroom (and who rests in a restroom?) is the one for which the student was equipped at birth.
What???? Naw. Most urinals I have used and seen would require a chick to hug the wall to straddle over the danged thing and be able to take a whiz into the danged thing. If she had large shirt pockets, she might not be able to grab the wall that close, thus pi$$ down her leg!!!
“If she has a pecker, let her use the urinals. No pecker, she is going to have a hard time squatting over the urinal.”
That’s what I’m thinking. Even post-op, it won’t be easy to use a urinal.
Thes urinals extend out from the wall and she could straddle easily.
“I found one urinal in a Walmart the other day that was so high up only an NBA player could use it. I guess we can aim high and fire.”
That’s for Mortarmen.... They’re experts in that high angle stuff.
Another Reason to Homeschool
“What ages are middle school students? Are the boys going to have trouble walking back to class?”
It varies from district to district.
Some are grades 5-8, some are 6-8, and others are just 7 and 8.
So age wise, as young as 10.

FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
From related threads...
Whatever the post-FDR era law schools are teaching students, it's evidently not the federal government's constitutionally limited powers as the delegates to the constitutional convention had intended for those powers to be understood.
More specifically, not only have the states never amended the Constitution to expressly give the feds the specific power to dictate, regulate, tax and spend for INTRAstate schooling purposes, but the only sex-related right that the states have amended the Constitution to expressly protect limits Congress's power to making sex protection laws for voting rights issues, evidenced by the 19th Amendment.
"19th Amendment:
The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.
Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation."
"From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added]." —United States v. Butler, 1936.
Regarding unconstitutional federal interference in intrastate schooling, note that President Thomas Jefferson, in a State of the Union address, also Justice Joseph Story, had both indicated that the states have never expressly constitutionally given the feds the specific power to dictate policy for intrastate schools.
"10th Amendment: The powers not delegated to the United States by the Constitution, nor prohibited by it to the States, are reserved to the States respectively, or to the people."
“The great mass of the articles on which impost is paid is foreign luxuries, purchased by those only who are rich enough to afford themselves the use of them. Their patriotism would certainly prefer its continuance and application to the great purposes of the public education, roads, rivers, canals, and such other objects of public improvement as it may be thought proper to add to the constitutional enumeration of federal powers [emphasis added].” —Thomas Jefferson: 6th Annual Message, 1806." (Jefferson is indicating that Congress cannot tax and spend in the name of intrastate infrastructure imo.)
"Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States." —Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
"The power to regulate manufactures is no more confided to congress, than the power to interfere with the systems of education, the poor laws, or the road laws of the states [emphases added]." —Justice Joseph Story, Commentaries on the Constitution 2, 1833.
Note that the so-called "federal" funding associated with Title IX is arguably state revenues, such revenues stolen from the states by means of unconstitutional federal taxes according the Gibbons v. Ogden excerpt above imo. The very corrupt, post-17th Amendment ratification, alleged election stealing Congress actually cannot justify such taxes under its very limited, constitutional Article I, Section 8-limited powers imo.
In other words, any so-called "federal" funding that a given state receives for education in the name of unconstitutional (imo) Title IX arguably shouldn't have left the state in the first place.
Otherwise stated, when constitutionally low-information, career state lawmakers and schools brag about winning federal funding for schools that they beg Congress for every year, at best, their "bragging" amounts to nothing more than recovering state revenues that Congress stole from the states and citizens' wallets by means of unconstitutional federal taxes imo.
Hopefully, the Trump-endorsed candidates that Trump's red tsunami of patriot supporters elect in 2022 will eliminate the unconstitutional "middleman," the unconstitutionally big federal government, from "helping" the states to manage their revenues.
