Maine court rules school not obligated to accommodate transgender student


The Penobscot County Superior Court ruled that a school district was not obligated to accommodate a transgender student access and use of the girls’ bathroom because Maine does not have a law requiring that transgenders have full access to public facilities.

This is the same lawsuit that has been going on for several years in Maine. A student who is biologically male but “identifies herself” as female was initially allowed to use the girls’ bathroom, but following an incident, school officials had “her” use a separate staff bathroom instead. The student’s parents then filed suit against the school district.

The warning is clear for Massachusetts: if H 502, the infamous “Bathroom Bill” becomes law, it will specify full access to public facilities and public schools, K through 12, will have to comply.

With the spring sports season now in full swing, many Massachusetts parents are discovering that, despite recent efforts to dismantle diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives, their children’s schools are still requiring athletes to sign a DEI pledge.
