The Student Non-Discrimination Act (SNDA): A Legal Analysis



Jody Feder
Legislative Attorney

The Student Non-Discrimination Act (SNDA) would prohibit discrimination on the basis of actual or perceived sexual orientation or gender identity in public elementary and secondary schools. The bill, which was introduced in both the 111th and 112th Congress, is expected to be reintroduced in the 113th Congress. The stated purpose of the legislation is to ensure that students are free from discriminatory conduct such as harassment, bullying, intimidation, and violence. SNDA appears to be patterned on Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972, which prohibits discrimination on the basis of sex in federally funded education programs or activities, although SNDA does differ from Title IX in several important respects.
