While American power abroad slowly erodes, it’s good to know our society is girding its loins to fight the true enemy.
Three students at a Wisconsin middle school are facing allegations of sexual harassment under Title IX after they repeatedly refused to use “they/them” pronouns when addressing a fellow student.
Attorneys for the Wisconsin Institute of Law and Liberty demanded that the Kiel Area School District stop the Title IX investigation into the three male students at Kiel Middle School.
“The complaint against these boys, and the District’s ongoing investigation, are wholly inappropriate and should be immediately dismissed,” the institute wrote in a letter to administrators. “The mere use of biologically correct pronouns not only does not constitute sexual harassment under Title IX or the District’s own policy, it is also speech protected by the First Amendment.”
The letter from the WILL is here.
We represent the families of three eighth grade boys (and the boys themselves) who the District recently charged with sexual harassment under Title IX for “mispronouning.” The District’s position appears to be that using what the District calls “incorrect pronouns” “after being informed that a student’s preferred pronouns were ‘they/them’’’ automatically constitutes punishable sexual harassment under Title IX.
The complaint against these boys, and the District’s ongoing investigation, are wholly inappropriate and should be immediately dismissed. The mere use of biologically correct pronouns not only does not constitute sexual harassment under Title IX or the District’s own policy, it is also speech protected by the First Amendment. The District has also violated Title IX procedures and its own policy in its handling of the complaint. The District should promptly end the investigation, dismiss the complaints, and remove them from each of the boys’ records.
“Mispronouning” is also not sexual harassment under Title IX because gender identity is not included within the definition of sex within Title IX. In fact, the Department of Education is currently attempting to amend Title IX to add it. And none of the “other conduct” described in the statement from the music teacher (which the families of the boys eventually received with the Title IX complaint) comes remotely close to sexual harassment. The statement even acknowledges that the whole class “expressed frustration with remembering pronouns.”
It’s hard to have a society when half the country wants to take a chainsaw to it.
And they wonder why an 18 year old kid would shoot people…
They’re creating a generation of sociopaths, and they’re gonna regret it.
Kiel is a farming community in the eastern part of the state. There may be more cows than people in the school district. You would not guess such a community would have these concerns, but there you are.
The music teacher is fiddling while Rome burns. How appropriate!
Mr. D;
As Les Nessman on “WKRP in Cincinnati” used to say, the Red Menace is in our own backyards.
indeed, the infection has escaped containment…
I saw this coming years ago, when radicals began referring to gender being “assigned at birth.”
This is insane. They can tell you the sex of your child log before birth these days, and if gender is “assigned at birth” how does that work & always give a 50-50 mix? Secret tallies and quotas by ob-gyn’s? In areas where the mix is not evenly split (actually nature gives us closer to 51-49, males and females) it is because of sex selection abortion made possible because, yes, you can tell the sex of a child before it is “assigned at birth.”
Nobody on the left objected to this, because they are mad as hatters, all of them.
