In a landmark decision, a federal judge in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio has dismissed a lawsuit challenging Bethel Local School District’s policy of allowing transgender students to use communal restrooms aligning with their gender identity. The lawsuit was initially launched by a group of parents and students who sought an order mandating the school district to bar transgender students from using communal restrooms that correspond with their gender. The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the ACLU of Ohio joined the case in January 2023 to represent a transgender student’s rights. In a decisive move, Judge Newman dismissed all of the plaintiff’s federal claims, effectively ending the case.
