RantCrush Top 5: August 4, 2016

In April, the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that schools must allow students to use restrooms that align with their gender identity and denying that right would violate Title IX. This ruling was a victory for 17-year-old Gavin Grimm, who was born a female, but identifies as male. But the school board in Gloucester County, Virginia challenged the circuit court decision and asked the Supreme Court to temporarily block the order before it hears the case. The Supreme Court granted their request.

So no, this isn’t a final ruling, but yes, the Supreme Court felt the need to step in and block a 17-year-old from using the bathroom that matches his identity.
