• holding that undetailed and conclusory assertions that defendant had knowledge were insufficient to establish notice
• holding that “snide [stereotypical] comments” directed at a Jewish student, were “objectively offensive,” they did “not meet the high standard of severity of pervasiveness” required by law
• dismissing Title IX claim because plaintiff’s conclusory allegations failed to sufficiently allege defendants had actual knowledge of harassment
• dismissing Equal Protection claim against school district where student generally alleged he received “a lower level of protection compared to ‘other students’” who did not share his cited characteristics but provided no “facts to establish that these students were similarly situated”
• “Non-action, such as the ‘failure to report’ or a ‘failure to investigate, or more generally to prevent,’ is not enough” to allege an affirmative act
• the court dismissed the Rehabilitation Act retaliation claims against the individual defendants with prejudice because individuals cannot be held liable for such claims
