The United States Supreme Court on Tuesday declined to intervene in the debate over transgender student restrooms and rejected an appeal by an Indiana public school district, the Associated Press reported.

Federal appeals courts have different positions on the violation of federal law, according to some, or the Constitution, according to others, by applying certain restrictions on the use of the bathroom by transgender students, News.ro quotes.

The Indiana Supreme Court dismissed the appeal Tuesday without comment.

In that case, the Chicago Court of Appeals upheld a decision to allow transgender boys access to boys’ restrooms.

The Martinsville Metropolitan School District, located about 30 miles southwest of Indianapolis, appealed the decision to the Supreme Court.

An appeals court in Richmond, Va., also ruled in favor of transgender students, while an appeals court in Atlanta ruled against them.

Legal battles for transgender rights are raging across America after at least nine states restricted transgender students’ access to restrooms based on their birth sex.

In the reasoning of the Chicago Court of Appeals, Judge Diane Wood wrote that the Supreme Court’s involvement seemed “inevitable.”

“Transgender rights litigation is happening across the country, and we expect that at some point the Supreme Court will step in with more guidance than before,” Wood wrote. (News.ro)
