“I hope no other student has to feel degraded and unwanted like I did at school,” high school senior Drew Adams says. Adams — who is transgender — is embroiled in a lawsuit with his school board that could head to federal appeals court. - NBCOUT
Drew Adams, 18, is a high school senior in northern Florida. But in addition to studying for exams and waiting on college applications, Adams — who is transgender — is also embroiled in a lawsuit with his school board.
Adams filed a suit against the School Board of St. John’s County in Florida in 2017, after he was prevented from using the boys bathroom at Allen D. Nease High School in Ponte Vedra, which is about a 30-minute drive from Jacksonville.Martina Navratilova apologizes for calling trans athletes 'cheats' “Drew Adams is just like every other student at Nease High School, a teenager coming of age in a complicated, uncertain and changing world,” District Judge Timothy J. Corrigan wrote. “When it comes to his use of the bathroom, the law requires that he be treated like any other boy.”
A spokesperson from the school district told NBC News, “While currently in pending litigation, it would be inappropriate for us to comment on or try this case in the media”
