Supreme Court to review split over Title IX rights for school employees

The Supreme Court said Monday that it will hear a case examining whether employees of federally funded public educational institutions can privately sue under Title IX for sex discrimination in the workplace, a decision that could significantly expand or limit legal protections for school employees nationwide. The case centers on two former Georgia university employees: MaChelle Joseph, a former women’s basketball coach at the Georgia Institute of Technology, and Thomas Crowther, a former art professor at Augusta University. Both allege they were treated unfairly under Title IX-related proceedings and challenged adverse employment actions taken against them. Joseph was fired in 2019 after filing complaints alleging that the women’s basketball program received fewer resources than the men’s team. Crowther’s contract was not renewed in 2021 following allegations of inappropriate classroom conduct and sexual harassment made by students. The Supreme Court agreed to hear the case after the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit ruled that employees at public educational institutions do not have a private right to sue under Title IX, creating a split with several other federal appeals courts that have allowed such claims. The Supreme Court’s eventual ruling could clarify whether Title IX, which prohibits sex discrimination in federally funded educational programs, also provides a direct avenue for public school and university employees to pursue workplace discrimination claims in court.

Gen Z gender divide hits schools

America’s growing political divide between young men and women is increasingly visible inside schools, according to educators, researchers, and students who say gender-based polarization is reshaping classroom discussions, friendships, activism, and even dating among Generation Z. The divide became especially clear during the 2024 presidential election, when young women strongly backed Democratic nominee Kamala Harris while young men leaned significantly more toward President Donald Trump. Teachers across the country said those divisions are now surfacing in classrooms. Some educators reported that girls speak openly about concerns surrounding safety, rights, and equality, while boys increasingly question whether gender inequality remains a significant issue. Others described growing defensiveness among male students during discussions about feminism and social justice. The divide is also affecting relationships and social interactions. Polling cited in the article found that Gen Z places greater importance on political compatibility in dating than older generations, while teachers observed girls becoming more hesitant to socialize romantically with boys holding opposing political views. Researchers cautioned that the long-term effects of the divide remain unclear.
