(Worthy News) – The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday declined to hear a legal challenge to a Pennsylvania school district’s policy that allows transgender students to use whichever restroom they identify with.

The American Civil Liberties Union represented student Aidan DeStefano in the case. [ Source: UPI (Read More…) ]
