Supreme Court declines to take up transgender rights case

The U.S. Supreme Court said Tuesday it will not take up a high-profile dispute over a school policy that allows transgender students to use the locker rooms and restrooms of their choosing.

At issue in the case is a policy adopted by the Boyertown Area School District in Pennsylvania in the 2016-2017 school year that allows some transgender students to use school facilities based on their gender identity rather than their biological sex.
