The 11 states suing to stop the Obama administration’s directive expanding transgender student rights agreed to drop their lawsuit against the move following the Trump administration’s move to rescind the order.
The states, led by Texas, sued in May, arguing that the Obama administration had overstepped its authority when it directed the nation’s public schools to allow transgender students to use bathrooms that align with their gender identity, regardless of the sex on their birth certificate. The Obama administration argued that barring students from bathrooms that match their gender identity is a violation of Title IX, the federal law that prohibits sex discrimination in schools.
