Summary

80% Informative

US Department of Justice , 16 states and D.C. support Georgia school district's motion to dismiss the case.

Plaintiffs include teacher Katherine Rinderle who was fired after reading a book titled My Shadow Is Purple to a fifth -grade class.

16 states, DC and 16 states argue that Cobb county’s “ban of LGBTQ topics in classrooms lacks a legitimate pedagogical purpose, rendering it constitutionally suspect”.

The justice department’s focus on Title IX drilled into plaintiffs’ allegations that Cobb county created a “hostile environment” for students that included discrimination based on sex.

The federal agency also pointed to how the District’s interpretation and enforcement of its Divisive Concepts’ Policies heightened the sex-based hostile environment these students experienced.

This sort of prohibition results in unequal treatment, allege plaintiffs.
