@DrDeckerA608 Student was not forced to read it, so it shouldn’t be banned. If students had to read the books, there should be a reasonable accommodation for students with sincerely-held religious beliefs.
@DrDeckerA608 1. Was it sexual harassment?
2. Did school officials know about the harassment?
3. Did school officials reflect deliberate indifference toward the victim?
4. Was the harassment so severe that it affected access to education
@DrDeckerA608 Duty: ensure students’ safety
Breach of duty: not enough supervision
Causation: proper supervision could have prevented mosh pit from happening, or at least immediately stopped it
Injury: lots of injuries
@DrDeckerA608@IUEdLeaders@IUEdPolicy Family Education Rights and Privacy Act prohibits schools from sharing students’ education records to anyone besides parents (teachers can discuss if necessary)
@DrDeckerA608@IUEdLeaders@IUEdPolicy A lot of these students could argue that their clothes did not cause a substantial distraction from school and learning. Additionally, a couple of these students could probably argue that the dress code violates their Equal Protection Clause rights (discrimination based on sex)
@DrDeckerA608@IUEdLeaders@IUEdPolicy The 4 elements of negligence are not met.
Duty: ensure student safety
Breach of duty: was the teacher actually on her phone during the whole altercation? (Probably not)
Causation: the teacher being on her phone did not cause the altercation
Injury: obvious
@DrDeckerA608 I think that the school could possibly be found liable if this student’s actions were previously reported and the school did not reasonably act. However, from the surface level of this article, I think the school is not liable.
