RIGHT-WING SUPREME COURT FAILS KIDS YET AGAIN

SAN FRANCISCO, CA (August 16, 2024) – Earlier this evening, a right-wing Supreme Court majority ruled that the Biden administration cannot enforce a rule aimed at protecting LGBTQ+ students in schools and colleges in some states. Take Back the Court released the following statement on behalf of its president, Sarah Lipton-Lubet, in response:

“All young people deserve to show up to school and get an education without facing the threat of discrimination and bigotry. But five cruel justices on the Supreme Court just put countless LGBTQ+ students’ health, safety, and lives in jeopardy. The hateful right-wing movement with which these justices align themselves constantly invokes ‘protecting children’ as a false justification for their extremist agenda. But protecting children means keeping them safe from homophobic and transphobic violence; from gun violence; from attacks on equitable education; and from environmental destruction that threatens their futures. This court has failed them time and time again.”
