Kentucky: ACLU Challenges Sex-Segregated Classrooms
The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) and the ACLU of Kentucky filed an amended complaint on behalf of five families last month against the Breckinridge County Middle Schools, asserting that instituting sex-segregated classes is both illegal and discriminatory. The ACLU lawsuit expands on a previous KY lawsuit to include the U.S. Department of Education, arguing that its 2006 changes to Title IX regulations allowing schools increased flexibility in implementing single-sex classes and programs is also illegal.
