J. Heytens finds the lower court improperly granted summary judgment to the state on a Title IX claim. The state claimed its law establishing that athletic teams or sports designated for females, women or girls shall not be open to students of the male sex, defined as an individual whose biological sex determined at birth is male, didn't violate Title IX because it gave the eight-grade transgender girl the option to still participate in sports so long as it was with the boys team. Requiring the girl to countermand her social transition, her medical treatment and all the work she has done with her schools, teachers and coaches for nearly half her life by introducing herself to teammates, coaches and even opponents as a boy is unreasonable. Reversed.

J. Simon denies the adoptive parents' motion for a preliminary injunction seeking to have the hearing officer's dismissal of their complaint vacated. The complaint alleged the school denied their psychologically challenged child a free and appropriate education when the child's patterns of self-injury and abuse re-emerged after treatment. The parents fail to show a need for the injunction, and the relief sought is neither preliminary nor injunctive in nature. Furthermore, they do not establish any likelihood of irreparable harm, nor a likelihood they will succeed on the merits.

J. Reidinger grants an anonymous man affiliated with the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill his motion for a preliminary injunction against the university following a sexual misconduct investigation it conducted. Complaints about the man’s alleged involvement in multiple acts of sexual misconduct prompted the investigation, and the man has been suspended from his affiliation with the school. Based on the fact that the man denies having perpetrated any of the actions for which he is accused, and the potential for harm if he is indicated publicly, the university is enjoined from releasing any information regarding the man until litigation has concluded.

J. Skavdahl issues a preliminary injunction barring the school district from precluding its employees from answering or responding truthfully to a parent’s inquiry as to whether their child is being called by a different name or pronoun at school. The district’s policy prohibiting employees from providing, upon inquiry, accurate and complete information to parents about their minor child’s preferential name and gender “burdens a parent’s fundamental right to make decisions concerning the care, custody and education of their child.” However, the preliminary injunction does not extend to the district’s policy directing employees to use a student’s preferred name or pronoun in verbal, written and electronic communications.
Court: USDC Wyoming, Judge: Skavdahl, Filed On: June 30, 2023, Case #: 1:23cv69, NOS: Other Civil Rights - Civil Rights, Categories: civil Rights, education, injunction
J. Penzato finds that the trial court erred in denying the parent's motion to dissolve part of a preliminary injunction that prohibited her from making "certain statements regarding the School Board and its faculty, staff, and employees." There was no determination that the parent's challenged statements were defamatory, so the injunction was an "impermissible prior restraint" on her free speech. Reversed in part.
