I’m no Title IX expert, but I have never read or heard anything to suggest it applies to individual students. Students are supposedly its beneficiaries, while the institutions themselves, and the states who fund them, are the bound parties. Has it been amended while I wasn’t paying attention? Or is this just a bullying tactic?
If I had kids today I would find a way to homeschool them, no matter what.

The middle school principal is named Deborah Sixel. Yes, she calls herself ‘Dr.’.

This is a small town in Wisconsin and the smart money says the entire initiative is coming from the superintendant’s office and school administration. Again, the teachers’ colleges are the enemy of everything good, true, and beautiful.

Other then getting their children out of that school, do the parents have any legal recourse against the school board and or teachers? This insanity needs to stop.

From the Law firm representing at least one student.

“Three eighth grade students in the Kiel Area School District were notified of a Title IX complaint and investigation for sexual harassment for using a biologically correct pronoun when referring to a classmate, instead of the student’s preferred pronoun of “they/them.” The District’s position appears to be that once a student informs others of alternate, preferred pronouns, any subsequent “mispronouning” automatically constitutes punishable sexual harassment under Title IX.

Sexual harassment, as defined in both Title IX and the Kiel Area School District’s policy, typically covers things like rape, sexual assault, dating violence, stalking, inappropriate touching, and quid pro quo sexual favors. None of that—or anything even close to it—is alleged in the complaint. While there is a catchall for “unwelcome conduct” that is “so severe, pervasive, and objectively offensive that it effectively denies a person equal access to education,” the mere use of a biologically correct pronoun, without significantly more, does not count, and if it did, it would violate the First Amendment. Schools of course can and should deal with teasing and bullying, but using so-called “incorrect pronouns” alone is not punishable, without more. ”

You realize the principal is 57 years old. She’s been in the system for 35 years. The woke rubbish appeals to something deep inside people attracted to school administration (and now schoolteaching) as a career. We’ve taken a psychological type which ideally should be trained in practical skills and contained by a hard-nosed supervisor and put them in charge of primary and secondary schooling.

When I was growing up in suburban Indianapolis in the mid to late ’60s my elementary school had 7 grades (K-6) with four teachers in each grade and around 30 kids in each class. That’s approximately 840 students. We had a Principal and a Vice-Principal and that was it.

Librarian and school nurse rounded out the non-instructional staff. The teachers took care of the rest, and 99% of the time parents backed them up.

We sure have progressed a lot from those dark days, yep!

If you’re not getting your kids out of school now, you’re never going to do it.
