Students who are lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, intersex, nonbinary, or otherwise gender non-conforming may face harassment based on how they dress or act, or for simply being who they are. It is important to know that discrimination against students based on their sexual orientation or gender identity is a form of sex discrimination prohibited by federal law. It is also important that LGBTQI+ students feel safe and know what to do if they experience discrimination.  \nExamples of the kinds of incidents CRT and OCR can investigate:  \nA lesbian high school student wants to bring her girlfriend to a school social event where students can bring a date. Teachers refuse to sell her tickets, telling the student that bringing a girl as a date is “not appropriate for school.” Teachers suggest that the student attend alone or bring a boy as a date.  \n—  \nWhen he starts middle school, a transgender boy introduces himself as Brayden and tells his classmates he uses he/him pronouns. Some of his former elementary school classmates “out” him to others, and everyday during physical education class call him transphobic slurs, push him, and call him by his former name. When he reports it to the school’s administrators, they dismiss it, saying: “you can’t expect everyone to agree with your choices.”  \n—  \nA community college student discloses he’s gay during a seminar discussion. Leaving class, a group of students calls him a homophobic slur, and one bumps him into the wall. A professor witnesses this, but does nothing. Over the next month, the harassment worsens. The student goes to his dean after missing several lectures out of fear. The college interviews one, but not all, of the harassers, does nothing more, and never follows up with the student.  \n—  \nAn elementary school student with intersex traits dresses in a gender neutral way, identifies as nonbinary, and uses they/them pronouns. The student’s teacher laughs when other students ask if they are “a boy or agirl” and comments that there is “only one way to find out.” The teacher tells the class that there are only boys and girls and anyone who thinks otherwise has something wrong with them. The student tells an administrator, who remarks “you have to be able to laugh at yourself sometimes.”  \n—  \nOn her way to the girls’ restroom, a transgender high school girl is stopped by the principal who bars her entry. The principal tells the student to use the boys’ restroom or nurse’s office because her school records identify her as “male.” Later, the student joins her friends to try out for the girls’ cheerleading team and the coach turns her away from tryouts solely because she is transgender. When the student complains, the principal tells her “those are the district’s policies.”  \n—  \nPublic elementary and secondary schools, as well as public and private colleges and universities, have a responsibility to investigate and address sex discrimination, including sexual harassment, against students because of their perceived or actual sexual orientation or gender identity. When schools fail to respond appropriately, the Educational Opportunities Section of the Civil Rights Division (CRT) at the U.S. Department of Justice and the Office for Civil Rights (OCR) at the U.S. Department of Education can help by enforcing federal laws that protect students from discrimination. CRT and OCR can also provide information to assist schools in meeting their legal obligations.  \nU.S. Department of Justice Civil Rights Division  \nU.S. Department of Education Office for Civil Rights  \nWhat if a Student Experiences Discrimination in School?  \nIf you have been treated unfai","cbCaic3Q20ykU9AK","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaic3Q20ykU9AK","pdf",342923,"English","# Examples of incidents CRT and OCR can investigate\n# What to do if a student experiences discrimination in school?","[{\"question\":\"What kind of discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender identity is prohibited?\",\"answer\":\"Discrimination of students based on sexual orientation or gender identity is a form of sex discrimination prohibited by federal law.\"},{\"question\":\"What actions can students and families take if discrimination occurs at school?\",\"answer\":\"They can notify a teacher or school leader, file a formal complaint if needed, and keep records of complaints and responses.\"},{\"question\":\"Where can complaints be filed to address harassment or discrimination?\",\"answer\":\"Complaints may be filed with the Civil Rights Division of the U.S. Department of Justice or the Office for Civil Rights at the U.S. Department of Education.\"}]","Confronting Anti-LGBTQI+ Harassment in Schools - A Resource for Students and Families | PDF",1792062077]
