BANGOR, Maine (AP) ? Lawyers for a transgender girl and a Maine school that required the fifth-grader to use a staff bathroom instead of the girls restroom differ over whether the student's rights were violated.
The state's highest court heard arguments Wednesday in an appeal by Nicole Maines and her family that seeks to have her discrimination lawsuit reinstated.
A judge in a lower court previously ruled that the Orono (OR'-uh-noh) school district acted within its discretion by requiring her to use a staff bathroom after there was a complaint.
The student is now 15 and attending a high school in southern Maine. After Wednesday's hearing in Bangor, she said she hoped the justices understand the importance of getting an education and making friends without being "bullied" by students or administrators.
