The US Supreme Court on Friday denied a request by the Biden administration to lift a block in several Republican states on expanding sex discrimination protection to transgender students.
President Joe Biden’s administration moved in April to extend rules forbidding sex-based discrimination in schools to cover gender identity. Courts in 10 Republican-controlled states temporarily blocked the rules, and the administration petitioned the Supreme Court to intervene. But in a 5-4 decision, the judges declined to take action while the legal process at the state level is still playing out.The protections were part of a larger set of new rules on anti-discrimination, all of which will remain blocked in the Republican states while the legal challenges proceed.
