Re: private school claims this is not sexual harassment
The conduct certainly appears to constitute a sexually hostile environment. Understanding that this is a private school, are you aware of whether the school receives any federal funding? Title IX protects students from sexual harassment in schools receiving any federal funding. There are other theories which might be explored for private schools receiving no federal funding.
Please feel free to contact my office with any additional questions.
Re: private school claims this is not sexual harassment
I am never one to recommend getting the police involved in something that is arguably a civil matter, but if my child came home and told me a teacher said these things, I'd be down there with a police officer fairly quickly. A teacher who says these things has no business near a children or a classroom.
