Daily ‘constitutional’: Top U.S. court decides on restroom insanity

Complaint sparked by student who identifies as transgender

A federal appeals court has concluded that a boys restroom for boys, and a girls restroom for girls, is constitutional.

In a report in the Washington Stand, it was revealed that the 11th Circuit Court of Appeals said, “Separating school bathrooms based on biological sex passes constitutional muster and comports with Title IX.”

The ruling affirmed the practice in St. Johns County, Florida, where officials were challenged by a student who identifies as transgender and wanted the district to comply with the students’ beliefs.

The student claimed the facilities for boys – or girls – violated the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment and Title IX.

The Stand reported there was a trial in 2017, and the district court ruled against the school.

A three-judge appeals court panel in 2020 upheld that decision, but the panel ruling eventually was overturned by the full court.
