Where Should We Go From Here with Title IX?

June 26, 2002

Why make the interests of men and women identical? Because gender feminists want to blur the genders. Don’t these women take pride in being women? Don’t they have confidence in being a mother? Don’t they realize the incredible importance of motherhood? Why are they determined to take control of men’s interests and men’s welfare?

Title IX of the Education Act Amendment was passed into law on June 23, 1972. Liberal feminists, due to failure of the Equal Rights Amendment, could not defer to those who reject feminist’s foolishness, but sought to secure their goals through a back door attempt – Title IX

To date Title IX has been felt by the entire educational world through court interpretations and federal law. Test scoring, teenage pregnancy, sexual harassment, and gender-equal results on SAT tests have been adversely affected by Title IX.

But that’s not all the Title IX feminists have accomplished. They have enacted a quota system that has caused colleges across America to eliminate men’s sports. Jonah Goldberg’s article, “The Trouble With Title IX”, Washington Times, May 2002, agrees with the evidence. Goldberg states that “according to the General Accounting Office, since the passage of Title IX, more that 170 wrestling programs, 80 men’s tennis teams, 70 men’s gymnastics teams and 45 men’s tract teams have been closed. That’s more than 80,000 slots for men”.

If a school has 60 percent women and 40 percent men then the sports teams, to avoid a law-suit, have to be 60-40 like the campus. Clinton appointee Norma Cantu’s reorganization of the federal Office of Civil Rights caused this shift in college sports and forced the elimination of many men’s lacrosse, soccer, and football teams among other sports.

More men identify with sports than do women. So how are coaches supposed to meet their female quota?
And what are wrestlers supposed to do with female wrestlers when a maneuver calls for the “high crotch take down” or pinning the opponent by pressing on the chest? Men are taught in a civilized culture to respect women.

One mother who is a track and swimming coach and also the mother of a high school wrestler shared the anguish her son endured whenever he declined to wrestle a girl and forfeit his mixed sex wrestling match.
She stated in the Education Reporter, May 2002, that “ the pendulum [of women’s rights] has swung too far. What about male rights”?

I played four years of high school basketball. There was no such thing as gender inequity. “Politically Correct” gender feminists are bent on destroying anything that is traditionally sound. It only stands to reason that they support abortion, sexual promiscuity, gender quotas, hatred of men and the abolishment
of motherhood. The fuel for their crusades must be anger and discontent.

Where do we go from here with Title IX? Rescind it!
