Sanches v. Carrollton-Farmers Branch Indep. Sch. Dist.

by
Plaintiff appealed summary judgment on her claims of sex discrimination and retaliation under 20 U.S.C. 1681(a) (Title IX) and 42 U.S.C. 1983. The court found that the case was nothing more than a dispute fueled by a disgruntled cheerleader mom, over whether her daughter should have made the cheerleading squad. The court affirmed summary judgment on the Title IX claim and held that the supposed harassment was not based on sex, it was not severe, pervasive or objectively unreasonable, and the district court was not deliberately indifferent to it. The court affirmed summary judgment on the Title IX retaliation claim and held that there was no support in the record for plaintiff's arguments. The court affirmed summary judgment on the section 1983 claim and held that any harassment was not based on sex, so there was no constitutional violation and there was no evidence that the district court was ever deliberately indifferent. The court affirmed summary judgment on the section 1983 retaliation claim and held that plaintiff failed to point to any evidence that the district court retaliated against her.
