On this day in 1972, Title IX of the education amendments of 1972 is enacted into law. Title IX prohibits federally funded educational institutions from discriminating against students or employees based on sex. It begins: “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.” As a result of Title IX, any school that receives any federal money from the elementary to university level–in short, nearly all schools–must provide fair and equal treatment of the sexes in all areas, including athletics.
Before Title IX, few opportunities existed for female athletes. The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA), which was created in 1906 to format and enforce rules in men’s football but had become the ruling body of college athletics, offered no athletic scholarships for women and held no championships for women’s teams. Furthermore, facilities, supplies and funding were lacking. As a result, in 1972 there were just 30,000 women participating in NCAA sports, as opposed to 170,000 men.
Title IX was designed to correct those imbalances. Although it did not require that women’s athletics receive the same amount of money as men’s athletics, it was designed to enforce equal access and quality. Women’s and men’s programs were required to devote the same resources to locker rooms, medical treatment, training, coaching, practice times, travel and per diem allowances, equipment, practice facilities, tutoring and recruitment. Scholarship money was to be budgeted on a commensurate basis, so that if 40 percent of a school’s athletic scholarships were awarded to women, 40 percent of the scholarship budget was also earmarked for women.
Since the enactment of Title IX, women’s participation in sports has grown exponentially. In high school, the number of girl athletes has increased from just 295,000 in 1972 to more than 2.6 million. In college, the number has grown from 30,000 to more than 150,000. In addition, Title IX is credited with decreasing the dropout rate of girls from high school and increasing the number of women who pursue higher education and complete college degrees.
Despite these advancements, Title IX has not been without controversy. Critics point out that while it may be helping female athletes, it can hurt male athletes when schools are forced to cancel smaller men’s programs to meet the strictures of the law.
Wonder if the authors of Title IX realized they would be forcing girls athletic teams to accept boys pretending to be girls on them and force them to let those boys use the girls locker rooms with them?
Fuck title 9
Fuck the lesbo womens basket ball and hockey teams.
Walk in to any government aid office, as a single man. Tell them you lost your job, and can’t pay your bills. You will soon be homeless. See how long it takes the black woman, laughing hysterically, long fingernails flexing sardonically, to call the cops and have you put in prison for “menacing.”
My only consolation in watching the Jesuits and Abrahamic moneyed elite use the Mohammedans as weapons, is, muscles straining, they will be tossing these tubby female “athletes” off buildings, in part to “stone” their Feminazi sisters lined up in trenches built by Liberal Jews below.
And now every girl at every school has a sport they can compete in, get college scholarships, etc. Well, that is right up until the bleeding heart feminists and SJW crowd decided to allow less than top-performing male athletes to decide one morning that they would rather out-compete girls, steal their titles, and steal their scholarships, than come in 4th or 5th in male competitions and get nothing. You’ve come a long way baby. Now you even have a penis to show for your proud “womanhood.” Way to go Title IX!
I call complete bullshit on this as minorities are awarded higher test scores and gain admittance to Universities and score higher because they are given more points because of their color, race, ethnicity and religion…..if you are white you are screwed….trying to get in a college….fact check me please please please….have 2 that just went for enrollment and they have minority friends that showed them these facts…..a
