Indiana Attorney General leads 25-state brief defending schools’ right to maintain sex-specific bathrooms and locker rooms

Schools may keep separate facilities based on students’ biological sex without regard to ‘gender identity,’ AG Rokita says.

Indiana Attorney General Todd Rokita is leading a 25-state coalition asking a federal appeals court to reverse prior decisions that undermine schools’ ability to maintain sex-specific bathrooms and locker rooms.

In an amicus brief filed Monday, Attorney General Rokita argues that school policies requiring students to use facilities consistent with their biological sex are constitutional, reasonable, and necessary for protecting student privacy and safety.

“No child should be subjected to using a school restroom or locker room with someone of the opposite biological sex,” Attorney General Rokita said. “The Constitution and Title IX support commonsense safeguards that respect biology and shield kids from vulnerable situations.”
