But it\u2019s not that I\u2019m adverse to it. Look, I think every human being should be treated with dignity and respect. And that\u2019s an overriding sense of my own character, but an overriding sense of what the law requires. This particular question of how Title IX applies in schools is one and in light of the [inaudible] case, which I know you\u2019re very familiar with, is something that I would have to look at when I have a chance to do that. I\u2019ve not had the chance to consider these kinds of issues in my career so far, but I agree that this is a difficult question.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>KENNEDY: Thank you, judge.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><em><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
