: Legal Pad | LAI'll cover you: ACLU settlement with school district mandates harassment training
By Richard Binder
The ACLU's Southern California branch sued the Newport-Mesa Unified School District back in March for allegedly breeding an atmosphere hostile to female and gay students. That case has been settled, with the provision that the district will hold "mandatory training sessions for administrators, teachers and students that will focus on the harmful impacts of sexual discrimination and harassment," according to the ACLU's statement.
Hail Ketchum, now a freshman studying theater at Loyola Marymount University, was at the center of the suit. Three football players posted a video online in which they allegedly threatened Ketchum and used slurs to describe another classmate who they believed was gay. According to Ketchum's parents, educators did little to punish the athletes or protect their daughter.
District officials, who admitted no wrongdoing in the settlement, declined to comment on the lawsuit allegations.
