The Supreme Court won’t consider whether an Indiana middle school was required to let a transgender girl use the boys’ bathroom.

The ruling comes after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 7th Circuit affirmed a lower court’s injunction last year that allowed transgender students to use bathrooms that corresponded to their claimed gender identity.
