Cedar Rapids Gazette: An Iowa court denied a request from parents to temporarily bar enforcement of a Linn-Mar school district policy that protects transgender and nonbinary students while a lawsuit to negate the policy is pending. U.S. District Court Judge C.J. Williams ruled Monday on a national parental advocacy group’s request denying the injunction. The policy ensures the district complies with state law that prohibits discrimination based on gender identity, according to court documents.
