Washington Times -A federal judge ruled a Virginia school district violated a transgender student’s rights by not permitting the student to use the bathroom correlated with his gender identity. In 2015, Gloucester High School adopted a policy for transgender students to use different facilities than biological male or female students.
Washington Post - The city is offering free three-mile taxi rides for residents and visitors to buy groceries at Safeway, Giant, Harris Teeter, Whole Foods and a Martha’s Table food pantry in Wards 7 and 8, or across the Anacostia River in Ward 6. Libraries, pools and recreation centers in Wards 7 and 8 are also part of the expanded pilot program for subsidized taxi rides set to run through the end of September. The city will pay the first $10 of the taxi fare, which Spooner said covers about 3.5 to 4 miles, and officials have budgeted $65,000 for the pilot. So far, just over 100 rides have been taken in the pilot, D.C. and taxi officials said. The program has no income or residency requirements.
