33 | A Club Hockey Face-Off and Equal Athletic Opportunities

What does Title IX require of schools to ensure equal athletic opportunities for the sexes? When do schools need to recognize student demand and create new athletic opportunities for female athletes? In today's episode, we’re taking the ice with another athletics case! This time, we’re skating our way through a Title IX claim involving some female athletes who were denied the opportunity to play hockey in their school-sanctioned club sports program. We’re going to dive into some of the intricacies of Title IX in the 2022 case of Brooks v State College Area School District. We also discuss a fascinating and troubling email sent out by the Oklahoma State Superintendant of Public Instruction announcing the creation of the Office of Religious Liberty and Patriotism within the Oklahoma Department of Education. -- Need some education law content for your courses or professional development?
