A school district is facing accusations of gender discrimination on its high school cross-country team.
—that her school district answer for discrimination during her time as a top runner on a cross-country team.sent to Spring Branch Independent School District leaders, the girls’ family and ACLU attorneys allege that the district’s “biased dress code policy and enforcement” and “unequal treatment” towards girls on the cross country team likely run afoul of the Constitution and Title IX legislation.
Genesis, who asked not to use her last name due to privacy issues, told The Daily Beast she was singled out after she and others protested treatment by the running team’s new coach, but that she has refused to back down in order to set an example for other girls. Spring Branch ISD has recently received attention for banning books with LGBTQ+ characters, as well as a book calledbest-selling author Frederick Joseph.
At the time, Genesis said she was told by her coach that the decision had been made by the principal at the school. But when she asked principal Jennifer Collier, she was told that running in sports bras was just fine, according to the letter. “She began to question more things, because she kind of lost trust in what was being said,” said Genesis’ mom, who requested not to be named to preserve her daughter’s privacy.
At that point, things continued to escalate: She was completely ignored by coaches and wouldn’t get feedback on her running even when she asked, according to the letter.
