A mother has filed a federal lawsuit against the NYC Department of Education, claiming her daughter, N.S., faced discrimination after becoming pregnant at 14. The complaint alleges violations of Title IX and state human rights protections, as the school failed to uphold accommodations like bathroom access. Despite being an accomplished student, N.S. faced harassment and breaches of confidentiality from the administration. The case highlights the challenges pregnant students face in schools and emphasizes the need for better support and adherence to legal protections.
The student faced not only a breach of confidentiality regarding her pregnancy but also ongoing harassment and discrimination, which aggravated her situation at school.
Despite legally mandated accommodations for pregnant students, N.S. experienced neglect and discrimination by both her peers and teachers, underlining a significant issue in school policy enforcement.
