West Virginia (AP)- West Virginia is asking the U.S. Supreme Court to review rulings that blocked the enforcement of state laws prohibiting transgender athletes from competing in sports.
It’s unclear when the high court would decide whether to take up the cases.
It was filed on Thursday and involved transgender athletes hoping to compete on female-designated teams at the K-12 and college levels.
In a recent case, a 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel ruled 2-1 in April that the state’s transgender sports ban violated a 14-year-old’s rights under Title IX.
This federal civil rights law prohibits sex-based discrimination in schools.
