Jackson v. Birmingham Board of Education
Definition
- At issue in Jackson v. Birmingham Board of Education was whether a private person-in this instance, an athletic coach who was removed from his position when he complained about sexual discrimination against a girls' team-could file suit under Title IX, which prohibits discrimination in school programs that receive federal funds. The Supreme Court found that employees may file a private action for retaliation under Title IX, in that it constitutes a form of sexual discrimination in itself.Insofar as Jackson was a 5-to-4 decision, some legal scholars think that it is not the final word on the issue.
