Justice Department Intervenes In Gay Rights Suit<http://n.npr.org/NPRI/jN71577944_276224_276201_Z.htm>
For the first time in a decade, the Justice Department has moved to intervene in a lawsuit on behalf of a high school boy who was beaten up for being effeminate. Lawyers argue he is protected under Title IX - and gay and lesbian groups see it as a statement about the Obama administration's priorities.

This will be an interesting case to follow, is the school at fault? What could have been done differently?
