The plaintiffs alleged that, by design, the exemptions permit religiously affiliated institutions to discriminate against students on the basis of sex, sexual orientation and gender identity. “Plaintiffs have submitted no allegations of discriminatory motivation on the part of those enacting the religious exemption," she wrote in her decision."To the contrary, Plaintiffs argue that when Congress enacted Title IX, protections for — or discrimination against sexual and gender minorities — were ‘of no concern.’”
