Fourth Lawsuit Filed Over HB2

CHARLOTTE, NC– A group of North Carolina students and families are now suing two Federal agencies in support of House Bill 2. This is the fourth lawsuit filed over HB2.

The group is suing the Department of Justice and Department of Education, claiming students will be forced to share restrooms and locker rooms with the opposite sex in order for schools to get Federal funds.

Governor McCrory discussed the issue today.

“There’s an expectation of privacy for the other girls or other boys in their junior high locker rooms or shower facilities, that the only other people coming into there are the people of that same gender.” said McCrory.

The Department of Justice and state officials have sued each other in regards to the law.  The battle could eventually end up in the hands of the U.S. Supreme Court.
