“This isn't about lawsuits; this is about schools doing the right thing when the parents ask. They are the same protections granted to the kids by virtue of their race. That wasn't a local issue; that was a Federal right we had to pass. The same with title IX for girls. That is why we just won the World Cup. This is the right thing to do. We are adults here. Let's protect children. Let's protect children. This is not about lawsuits. It is about adults, about a parent calling the principal and saying ``My kid is being harassed'' and then the principal will do something--because they aren't. They aren't in many, many cases. Thank you. The PRESIDING OFFICER. The Senator from Tennessee.”
