A.M. v. Indianapolis Public Schools (2022)

FFRF joined the National Women’s Law Center and 57 organizations in a 7th Circuit amicus brief which challenged an Indiana law that discriminated against transgender school athletes. This brief is in support of the plaintiff, a 10-year-old transgender girl who was kicked off her Indianapolis elementary school softball team after a sports ban targeting transgender girls and young women took effect in the summer of 2022.

The brief highlighted how inclusive school policies are consistent with Title IX and a key part of creating gender equity in education. It also pointed out that this law would force schools to discriminate on the basis of sex in violation of Title IX and the Equal Protection Clause.
