San Jose State Sues Over Title IX Finding

Officials have said those policies, which include allowing students to compete in the sport that aligns with their gender-not their sex at birth-and to use the corresponding bathrooms and locker rooms, violate Title IX because they deny cisgender female athletes equal opportunities. Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 bars sex-based discrimination and harassment, and advocates for trans students say the administration is weaponizing the 53-year-old law to advance its agenda.

90 Percent of Student Discrimination and Harassment Complaints Were Dismissed Last Year. Here's Why. | Nonprofit Quarterly | Civic News. Empowering Nonprofits. Advancing Justice.

President Donald Trump's efforts to dismantle the Department of Education has created a crisis that critics long feared: leaving marginalized students vulnerable to misconduct with little federal intervention. A new report by the Government Accountability Office (GAO), a nonpartisan arm of Congress, paints a damning picture of how mass layoffs and the slashing of resources at the agency have significantly impacted the civil rights of students.

DOJ investigates whether schools taught about LGBTQ+ people without letting parents opt-out - LGBTQ Nation

Dhillon's statement specifically referenced Mahmoud v. Taylor, the 2025 Supreme Court decision, which said that schools must allow religious parents to opt their children out of any lessons acknowledging that LGBTQ+ people exist. The court agreed with the parents' claim that their First Amendment rights were violated when schools used books that included LGBTQ+ characters. The existence of queer people contradicts some parents' religious beliefs and, thus, violates their First Amendment right to direct their children's religious upbringing, the court said.
