Abstract
This Article describes the unequal treatment of pregnant students historically in American public school historically and how the regulations implementing Title IX are too weak to ensure that the historical discrimination cease, despite the prohibitions on discriminatory practices. This Article explains the historical reasons for the discrimination, Congress’s attempt to remedy the discrimination through Title IX and its implementing regulations, and the failure of the regulations to meet the regulatory goals of school access, choice, and quality. The Article continues to make concrete suggestions, with specific language recommendations, for changes in the current Title IX regulations with respect to pregnancy. The Article concludes with a list of the recommended changes in hopes of encouraging sweeping reform of the regulations that do not do as much as they should to protect pregnant students.
