Supreme Court dodges chance to protect girls’ bathrooms

.

The Supreme Court declined to hear a case on Tuesday that would have allowed it to decide whether or not men can go into girls’ bathrooms and vice versa.

It’s an absurd question that has a commonsense answer, but the whims of modern ontology have made the question a relevant one for the purposes of constitutional law. But the most disturbing part of this outrageous matter is that the court refused to take the case.

The case in question arose out of Indiana, where the American Civil Liberties Union found a girl who had been prevented by school policy from using the boys’ bathroom. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit ruled against the school district and in favor of the girl. As a result, students in the Metropolitan School District of Martinsville have lost the safety of single-sex bathroom spaces.

The child plaintiff, who has clearly been the victim of abuse in her home life and is unnamed in court documents, has been cleverly used by the transgender lobby and the ACLU to achieve their goal of ending sex-segregated spaces and further blurring the differences between men and women.

A biological female who suffers from gender dysphoria and wants to use the boys’ bathroom is a far more sympathetic plaintiff than a biological male who has the same disorder but wants to use the girls’ bathroom, even if the policy goal is the same.

But regardless of the shrewd selection of the plaintiff, the fact remains that the idea of allowing a boy into a girls’ bathroom and vice versa is absurd and should not be entertained by a parent, a school district, or, for that matter, a federal court.

By failing to take this case, the Supreme Court is allowing the lower court ruling to stand and thus forcing young girls in the states of Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin to endure the presence of men and boys in their private spaces. It is a shameful and cowardly decision that will have immediate and dangerous consequences for the students of those states.
