Transgender teen Drew Adams, pictured at his Florida home in June 2017, sued the St. Johns County School Board and school officials after they barred him from using the boys’ bathroom. But school officials barred him from the boys’ bathroom a month after school began in 2015, Drew said, after someone anonymously complained about his presence there. Last week they sued school officials and the St. Johns County School Board, alleging that the school system is violating Drew’s rights by refusing him access to the boys’ bathroom and directing him to use out-of-the-way unisex bathrooms. Originally, Kasper and Drew hoped their civil rights complaint with the Education Department would lead to a resolution. A federal investigator began looking into the case and negotiating with school officials to give Drew access to the bathroom.
