The Fort Worth school district is the target of a federal investigation into a teacher's charges of discrimination against girls in violation of the federal Title IX laws requiring equity between boys and girls sports.
The teacher, Alex McCulloch, tells the Star-Telegram that the Fort Worth district has failed to provide equal opportunities for athletes who have wanted to see rugby added as a varsity sport for girls.
McCulloch has coached girls club rugby for 15 years and says this issue has been bubbling under the surface for a while.
The US Department of Education website shows a Title IX investigation was opened against the Fort Worth district in August.
