A federal appeals court cleared the way for Iowa to enforce its 2023 law banning certain topics related to sex and gender from the state's classrooms and school libraries.

In separate decisions Monday, April 6, a three-judge panel of U.S. Eighth Circuit Court of Appeals struck down injunctions in two lawsuits, one by a group of parents and LGBTQ rights advocates and the other primarily by a coalition of publishers and authors. 

Monday's decisions send the cases back to the district court for "resolution on the merits," meaning the lawsuits can continue while the laws take effect.
