Is sexual discrimination / harassment in schools legal?

The harassment occurred because of plaintiff's sex;
plaintiff was subjected to unwelcome sexual harassment;
the harassment altered learning conditions and created a hostile educational environment;
the employer knew or should have known of the harassment and failed to take prompt remedial action to correct the situation or abate the harassment.
