A school or district that receives federal funding shall not:

• A. Deny any person admission to or participation in its programs on the basis of sex.
• B. Provide identical aid to all students regardless of sex.
• C. Deny any person participation in non-educational activities.
• D. Charge different tuition based on sex.

Answer: (A)

Federally funded schools must not discriminate on the basis of sex in education programs or activities. This means they must ensure equal access and opportunity for all students, including admission and participation, regardless of gender.

Denying admission to or participation in programs because of sex directly violates this principle, which is why this option is the best answer. The other statements touch on related ideas, but they aren’t the core, universally applicable prohibition: setting tuition or aid policies by sex would still constitute discriminatory practice, and while unequal or contested forms of aid or participation restrictions can be problematic, the explicit requirement captured here is the protection against denying someone access to education on the basis of sex.
