How courts have described this case

Verbatim parenthetical descriptions written by other courts when citing this decision. Ranked by citation-network relevance.

• holding that an equal protection claim against a school for peer harassment requires proof of deliberate indifference
• holding that a reasonable jury could find that the plaintiff was subjected to harassment that denied her equal access to education even though the plaintiff switched school districts
• holding that school administrators cannot escape liability by burying “their heads in the sand”
• explaining that “[t]o have actual knowledge of an incident, school officials must have wit- nessed it or received a report of it”
• noting that “explicit references” to the plaintiff’s “Russian origin” and the use of “gendered words” provided evidence of harassment based on national origin and sex
• recognizing previous holdings that, in the employment context, “gendered words like bitch and whore . . . can be strong evidence that the harassment at issue is on the basis of sex”
