Federal judge sides with transgender student in Va. bathroom case

(Worthy News) – A federal judge ruled Friday that a Virginia school district’s policy preventing transgender student Gavin Grimm from using boys’ bathroom facilities violates the U.S. Constitution, the latest ruling in a case remanded to lower courts by the U.S. Supreme Court.

The U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia granted Grimm’s motion for summary judgment against Gloucester County School Board.

Judge Arenda Wright Allen, an appointee of President Barack Obama, contended in her court order that the school district violated the14th Amendment and Title IX of education civil rights law by not allowing the biologically female student into boys’ bathrooms and by refusing to change school transcripts to reflect the student’s gender identity.
