discrimination in federally funded education programs.
Along the way the US Supreme Court has defined sexual harassment as a form of sexual discrimination.
Now, blatant, obvious sexual discrimination would've earned EE an immediate suspension. Which leaves us with
"behavior is unwelcome, is based on sex or sexual stereotyping, and has the effect of interfering with a student’s ability to participate in or benefit from a school program, such as participation in athletics."
for anything to stick, there's got to be some kind of misogynist stuff being said right? AND that stuff has to interfere with the student's benefit. That's a pretty subjective standard. How do you prove it interfered with benefit? Certainly playing time was not limited in Paige's case.
and here's the problem, how about a football coach during drilling saying 'show me you're a man, c'mon real man, c'mon real man.' Now, is that a Title IX violation? Football players would laugh that off right? 'Coach said a lot worse yeah.'
But here we go - now coaches have to tip toe around this thing and it's pretty hard to spot the line. Negative coaching techniques are tried and true - they have their place.
So it'll be interesting to see if we're talking about a chronic string of 'b-words' and 'c-words' or simply the use of something like 'princess'. Is that enough to close the deal on this kind of thing? If all they've got is negative feedback that doesn't involve sexual stereotype they've got nothing.
