More Title IX Madness: Male Student Commits Suicide over Ruling

This one will make your blood boil: LINK

"You should consider killing yourself."

That's what Thomas Klocke, a straight male student at the University of Texas at Arlington, allegedly told a gay male classmate after finding out about his sexuality during class on May 19, 2016. The classmate filed a Title IX complaint with the university.

The problem? Klocke denied ever having made such a comment. In his version of the story, the classmate came on to him during class, calling him beautiful. Klocke felt uncomfortable, told the classmate he was straight, and moved to a different seat after the classmate wouldn't stop looking at him.

The classmate might have been worried Klocke would accuse him of sexual harassment, Klocke later guessed, because he immediately filed his own sexual harassment complaint against Klocke. The accuser told university officials that Klocke had called him a "****" and threatened to kill him.

Klocke maintained that he did no such thing, but the university sided with the accuser.

Days after discovering that a finding of responsibility could prevent him from getting in to grad school, Klocke committed suicide.

The original purpose of Title IX was to ensure equality between the sexes in education. In its present day iteration, Title IX is little more than a tool for irate students to exact vengeance on people who offended them.
