I'm an avid Title IX advocate and supporter, but unless there have been federal rulings that I'm not aware of in the last 4 years, I don't believe it applies - counter-intuitive as it may seem - as long as, if taken to court, the school could prove that part of its official religious "tenets" specifically involve preventing this type of situation.
This is direct language from the law:
Quote:
Sec. 1681. Sex
(a) Prohibition against discrimination; exceptions
No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance, except that:
(3) Educational institutions of religious organizations with contrary religious tenets -
this section shall not apply to an educational institution which is controlled by a religious organization if the application of this subsection would not be consistent with the religious tenets of such organization;

That being said, this school's practice is nauseating, as is any that deems (let alone teaches young minds that) one class of human is above another.
