- Title
Title IX Protections Against Bullying in Schools for Sex, Gender, and Orientation.
- Authors
Vartak, Kavan
- Abstract
The article highlights the problem and the main weakness of Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, as it only protects LGBT students who have been bullied in schools for their nonconformity with gender norms, rather than because of their orientation. Topics discussed include need of violence against LGBT citizens to be understood as hate crimes; homophobic and trans phobic juror bias; and institutional failures in protecting victims of bullying.
