Supreme Court, for Now, Blocks Expanded Protections for Transgender Students in Some States
Briefly

The Supreme Court's emergency order blocks Education Department rules aimed at protecting transgender students from discrimination, allowing lower court decisions in several Republican states to stand.
The court's unsigned decision indicates that all nine justices agreed on the necessity of precautionary measures regarding the classification of sex discrimination, including for sexual orientation and gender identity.
This decision represents a significant advantage for Republican-led states as they challenge the Biden administration’s new guidelines, pausing expanded protections for transgender students.
With the litigation ongoing, the new federal guidelines that have been enacted in almost half the country since August 1 are on hold, pending resolution of the challenges.
