The U.S. Supreme Court temporarily blocked an order that would let a transgender student use the boys’ bathrooms during his senior year at a Virginia high school.
The justices granted a request from the Gloucester County school board, which said the lower court order would have caused “severe disruption” when school started in September and likely prompted parents to transfer their children to other institutions. The district said boys’ restrooms were reserved for students who were "biological" males.
