The U.S. Supreme Court will soon take up two major cases this term that could reshape key constitutional and civil rights debates. One involves a long-standing education law, Title IX, which has been central to discussions on gender equity in schools for decades. The other challenges long-standing principles of church-state separation, raising questions about how far religious institutions can extend their influence in public life. The outcomes could have sweeping implications for millions of students and institutions nationwide.
In the term that begins Oct. 5, justices will weigh hot-button issues related to Title IX and the separation of church and state.
