The Supreme Court on Tuesday passed up a chance to intervene in the debate over bathrooms for transgender students, rejecting an appeal from an Indiana public school district.
Federal appeals courts are divided over whether school policies enforcing restrictions on which bathrooms transgender students can use violate federal law or the Constitution.
In the case the court rejected without comment, the Chicago-based 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals upheld an order granting transgender boys access to the boys’ bathroom. The appeal came from the Metropolitan School District of Martinsville, about 30 miles (48 kilometers) southwest of Indianapolis.
And yet it’s still the most upvoted comment, keeping a slur up that hurts many trans people, but sure the teaching moment is more important than being inaccurate and insulting, but keep patting yourself on the back.
It’s the most upvoted comment because many people don’t know it’s a slur. The only way that will change is with calm teaching moments like these.
It’s also upvoted because it is a slur and bad actors like to chip in their support knowing it’s a slur.
If you’d rather be angry than supportive then good luck
I haven’t been angry. It should be changed
Nah, I’m ok with it.

Then it wasn’t to you, it was to the original commenter.
You literally just made this up.
I watched it happen.
…you watched what? A known bigot slyly hover the up arrow with an evil sneer on their face?
Piss off troll.
I watched vote manipulation happen. Transphobia is not this popular. Nor do organic vote totals match the trends in the thread. And this post specifically was at one point heavily down voted, beneath other alternatives with better more news centered discussions. The slur was the point for some.
