N.D. professor says 'bee' violates Title IX

Article here. Excerpt:

'FARGO — A longtime judge for the state’s National Geographic Bee claims he was punished for complaining that the annual contest was unfair to girls, and he’s taking his case to federal court for the second time in three years.

Minot State University professor emeritus Eric Clausen is suing the National Geographic Society and five other groups. He says he believes the bee violates federal laws on gender equity because a large majority of the state winners are boys.

Clausen claims the NGS retaliated against him by warning him not to interfere and refusing to fund a North Dakota geography program.'
