40th Anniversary of Title IX
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
While most people think about women's sports programs, it also applied to academic and technical education as well as physical education. |
Wonder if a hottie tacher caught in flagrante delicto with a young stud who is charged and found guilty could claim discrimination after paying her debt to society and tried to get a teaching job again?

AZ recently had it's own kerfluffle over coed baseball. Two charter schools (imagine that), one church based (catlicks) the other not. Facing each other the parochial charter refused to play the other team in a state championship final because they had a GIRL on their team.
I don't suppose the fact that this young lady is so awesome her coach singles her out as indispensable to their perfect season had anything to do with the church school giving up their shot at the championship. Naw, their chickening out was all about IDEALS. http://www.azfamily.com/news/Phoenix-school-refuses-to-play-baseball-against-a-girl-151049865.html |

In an editorial, former SI editor Frank Deford noted that after 40 years, there didn't seem to be any significant increase in women's sports . . . fans. While participation has greatly increased, it hasn't resulted in ticket sales and attendance at professional women's events.
