South Carolina has filed an emergency petition with the U.S. Supreme Court seeking to uphold its controversial bathroom policy that restricts transgender students from using facilities corresponding to their gender identity. The state urges the court to intervene in a case involving a transgender student who is challenging the bathroom ban, arguing that it is necessary to protect privacy in school restrooms. The Attorney General has emphasized the need to enforce the law, which has faced opposition and legal challenges. As discussions unfold, the Supreme Court has received multiple requests related to this pressing issue.
