Parents, on behalf of female student, brought action against school district, alleging that district policy prohibiting female students from participating in all-male wrestling teams was discrimination on basis of sex in violation of Equal Protection Clause of Fourteenth Amendment and Equal Rights Amendment to Pennsylvania Constitution. Parents moved for preliminary injunction enjoining district from enforcing policy.
The District Court held that:
- Parents showed likelihood of success on merits of equal protection claim, as required to support preliminary injunction;
- Balance of equities favored preliminary injunction; and
- Public interest would not be harmed by granting injunction.
