BERKELEY COUNTY, S.C. – The U.S. Supreme Court on Wednesday declined South Carolina’s request to immediately enforce its bathroom law against a transgender student in Berkeley County, leaving in place a lower court order that allows the student to continue using the boys’ restroom while the case proceeds. The case stems from litigation in Berkeley County School District, where a transgender student challenged the law after being barred from the boys’ restroom. As a direct consequence, a thirteen-year-old transgender boy in Berkeley County was suspended for using the boys’ restroom at school, said the attorneys for the student. On Wednesday, the U.S. Supreme Court opted not to intervene in a dispute over which restroom a Berkeley County student may use. For now, the Berkeley County student at the heart of the case will continue to use the boys’ restroom as the broader legal battle plays out in the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals.
