A Texas high school student has filed a lawsuit against her school district after being barred from auditioning for a male role in a school play, alleging discrimination based on gender identity. The case centers on whether schools must accommodate students' self-identified gender when casting theatrical productions. Legal experts say the dispute raises broader questions about how far public institutions must go to align policies with students' personal identities. The outcome could set a precedent for similar cases nationwide.
