Judge rules Va. district can’t block transgender student from girls tennis team

The Hanover County School Board in Virginia cannot block an 11-year-old transgender student from playing on a girls’ middle school tennis team, ruled U.S. District Court Judge M. Hannah Lauck.
The American Civil Liberties Union of Virginia filed a lawsuit in July, claiming the school board discriminated against the student who tried out for the team.
Lauck issued a preliminary injunction, stating that the board excluded the plaintiff from participating based on sex, violating her rights.
