The U.S. Supreme Court has upheld state laws barring transgender girls and women from participating on female school sports teams, ruling that bans in Idaho and West Virginia do not violate the Constitution, the Associated Press reports. In a 6-3 decision, the court also concluded that the laws do not violate Title IX, the federal law prohibiting sex discrimination in education. More than two dozen states, including Tennessee, have enacted similar restrictions. The ruling "seems certain to extend to them as well" according to the news outlet.
