Excellent in-depth investigative series from @searchlightnm.bsky.social following Larissa who was raped on campus then punished for the assault. Failed #TitleIX compliance is a national epidemic. More info on combating K-12 sexual harassment/harm at stopsexualassaultinschools.org/toolkits/.
As feds scale back sex assault oversight, school districts have final say | Searchlight New Mexico
New Mexico provides no oversight of sexual assault between students in schools. A recent case in Hobbs shows what that can mean.

Pleased to publish in @msmagazine.com about 112 equity orgs' letter to ED/OCR demanding Title IX compliance, NCYL's new resource, SSAIS's #MisogynyFreeSchools + #YouthInfo-Zines, and Title IX workarounds. Follow the links in our article to explore urgently-needed resources.
@msmagazine.com highlights the lack of federal civil rights enforcement for students. NCYL’s resource, “The State of Civil Rights for Students and Schools,” maps protections, enforcement, and pathways across all 50 states to help students and families navigate support.
