A federal appeals court has ruled that a Florida school district's policy of separating school bathrooms based on biological sex is constitutional.
MIAMI — A federal appeals court has ruled that a Florida school district's policy of separating school bathrooms based on biological sex is constitutional.
The court's decision was split down party lines, with seven justices appointed by Republican presidents siding with the school district and four justices appointed by Democratic presidents siding with Drew Adams, a former student who sued the district in 2017 because he wasn’t allowed to use the boys restroom.
Judge Barbara Lagoa wrote in the majority opinion that that the school board policy advances the important governmental objective of protecting students’ privacy in school bathrooms. She said the district's policy does not violate the law because it's based on biological sex, not gender identity.
