was filed by the Religious Exemption Accountability Project and names 33 students as plaintiffs.
REAP's lawsuit specifically takes aim at a religious exemption clause in Title IX schools have used to continue with discriminatory practices. The schools—which receive government funding—have apparently been using the exemption clause to evade an executive President Joe Biden signed on his first day in office, which was aimed at"preventing and combating discrimination on the basis of gender identity or sexual orientation."—which first reported on the lawsuit—the suit also has another goal in mind, as it was"intentionally" filed as the Senate prepares to take up the Equality Act, which would amend the 1964 Civil Rights Act to add LGBTQ Americans as a protected class against disrimination.
"Religious exemptions to civil rights statutes come at a price," REAP said in a statement on its website."The price is paid by the young and vulnerable who find themselves at the mercy of religiously affiliated, taxpayer-funded social service and educational institutions that often turn them away or force them into the closet."The lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Oregon, comes just over a month after the U.S. House, largely on a party-line vote.
