The family of a transgender middle school student has sued to prevent Idaho from requiring public school students to use the restroom corresponding to their assigned sex at birth, in the latest fight over a U.S. state law targeting transgender youth.
Republican-led states have passed numerous bills targeting trans youth in the last two years, including what are called "bathroom bills" like Idaho's and bans onThe Idaho law allows students to sue schools for $5,000 if they encounter a transgender student in a bathroom the law forbids. It effectively puts a "bounty" on transgender students and encourages others to search them out, the lawsuit says.
Spokespersons for Little and for Idaho Attorney General Raul Labrador declined to comment. The Idaho Board of Education, which is named as a defendant in the lawsuit, did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
