Six high school girls in Utah who want to play football had their parents file a lawsuit Friday against the Jordan, Canyons and Granite school districts because the districts didn’t have girls’ football teams.
The lawsuit also targets the Utah High School Activities Association and the superintendents of each district, noting that the failure to provide girls’ football teams violates federal Title IX, stating, “[The] districts fail to provide equal treatment and benefits to girls as they do boys because [the] districts give boys the right and opportunity to use the high school football fields, stadiums, facilities, but do not provide girls the same treatment and benefits.”
