NEW: US Supreme Court says it will not hear appeal from Pennsylvania students who claimed a high school's transgender policy violated their privacy.

The U.S. Supreme Court said Tuesday that it will not hear an appeal from Pennsylvania students who claimed a high school's transgender policy violated their privacy, leaving a policy in place that allowed transgender students to use the bathrooms matching their gender identity.

In the case denied Tuesday, students from Boyertown Area School District in central Pennsylvania went to court after the high school began allowing their transgender classmates to use locker rooms and restrooms based on gender identity. One of those bringing the legal challenge, identified in court papers only as Joel Doe, said he felt embarrassed by the policy, stopped changing his clothes in gym class, and eventually left the school entirely.

In effect, the legal dispute was about who should be required to use single-user restrooms — transgender students or other students who said the policy made them uncomfortable. Although the students were named with aliases in court documents, Alexis Lightcap has since graduated."My privacy shouldn't depend on what others believe about their own gender," she said.

Supreme Court won't review abortion law signed by PenceThe Supreme Court declined to take up a case challenging an Indiana law barring abortions based on a fetus' sex, race or disability, allowing a lower court's ruling against the law to stand My opinion is always going to be if you can't give birth you should have nothing to do with writing laws about abortion. Also if you care nothing about the children already suffering then the same holds true.
