Despite settling a Title IX lawsuit, a Santa Maria Valley Christian Academy again didn't allow its high school football team to play against an opponent with female players.
A California Christian school settled a Title IX sex discrimination lawsuit in August over its policy of refusing to allow its high school football team to play against opponents with female players. Less than two months later, the Central Coast school again forfeited a scheduled 8-man game against a team with girls on its roster.
In August, the court approved the settlement and dismissed the case with prejudice. Mikkelson insisted that Title IX is being misread by most people. “Title IX is very clear that contact sports are exempt from Title IX,” Mikkelson said. “That’s the language — contact sports are exempt from Title IX. It is an unfortunate tragedy that that is not understood by most people.

'And now, after his death, a recreational bike path was being built and a traffic light is being built.'SEE MORE: Researchers look to AI to reduce pedestrian and bicyclist fatalitiesSamuel's death is part of a growing trend in America, where pedestrian and cyclist fatalities are up 60% since 2011 to more than 8,000 last year.In the past 25 years, the percentage of people who died in road crashes while inside a vehicle dropped from 80% of all road deaths to 66%.
