This week, WILL filed an amicus brief in the Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals, urging it to overrule two prior cases that force schools to allow biological males who identify as transgender access to girls’ restrooms and locker rooms.
WILL is representing the Empowered Community Coalition, an unincorporated association of 102 parents of children who are or were enrolled in the Elkhorn Area School District.
In our brief, we cite a troubling example from Sun Prairie, Wisconsin, where a biological male claiming to be transgender showered in front of several underage high school girls. WILL filed a Title IX complaint against the Sun Prairie Area School District in that matter, which has been pending for almost two years.
WILL Deputy Counsel, Luke Berg, stated, “Neither Title IX nor the Constitution requires schools to ignore biology. Sex-separated bathrooms have long been justified to protect safety and privacy, especially for young girls. We hope the Court corrects its flawed decisions.”
