Bostock v. Clayton County that the federal law banning sex discrimination in employment also covers discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
The ruling did not address education, but the department has interpreted it to apply to Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, which bans sex discrimination in education.
Some courts have interpreted it in that fashion as well.“The Supreme Court has upheld the right for LGBTQ+ people to live and work without fear of harassment, exclusion, and discrimination — and our LGBTQ+ students have the same rights and deserve the same protections.
