"...subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance..."
I bet several students there get part of their tuition bills paid by Federal Pell Grants.
And I bet more than several students there get their tuition bills paid by Subsidized Federal Student Loans.
And...I highly suspect the school does indeed get funding from the state, and probably federal government in some small way. Most private schools, despite being private, do indeed receive some public support.
I lack the legal expertise to say whether or not this matters...but contrary to popular belief, private schools often DO get some direct funding from public sources such as state or federal governments.
Plus they for certain have some students on federal subsidized student loans or pell grants, that may count as a form of public funding.
Whether that makes the private school subject to the 1st amendemnt , I doubt it. But perhaps there is some other pertinent law?
