 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Subdivision 1 of section 12 of the education law, as
 2 amended by chapter 102 of the laws of 2012, is amended to read as
 3 follows:
 4 1. No student shall be subjected to harassment or bullying by employ-
 5 ees or students on school property or at a school function; nor shall
 6 any student be subjected to discrimination based on a person's actual or
 7 perceived race, color, weight, national origin, ethnic group, religion

 9 with the requirements of the student's religion, religious practice,
 10 religious attire, disability, sexual orientation, gender, or sex by
 11 school employees or students on school property or at a school function.
 12 Nothing in this subdivision shall be construed to prohibit a denial of
 13 admission into, or exclusion from, a course of instruction based on a
 14 person's gender that would be permissible under section thirty-two
 15 hundred one-a or paragraph (a) of subdivision two of section twenty-
 16 eight hundred fifty-four of this chapter and title IX of the Education
 17 Amendments of 1972 (20 U.S.C. section 1681, et. seq.), or to prohibit,
