I haven't read the article, and I freely grant that my understanding of Title IX is imperfect and less than well informed. I do not defend it's current implementation. I simply observe that it's had a very salutary effect on the opportunities my daughter has had for athletic competition, as opposed to those my wife had (we went to high school together, so I saw this first hand). My wife, not a liberal by any means, is much more highly opinionated than I am on this subject.
Before Title IX , as it was written in 1972, womens teams were outnumbered by mens something like 10 to 1, at both high school and college level. Nobody on this side of the argument has any problem with the
original law, as it was written. It encourages all people to participate in sports..ie equal opportunity regardless of gender, race, etc.
The problem we have is with Democraps mandated interpretation of the law; the use of numerical quotas is not mandated, mentioned or even implied in the original legislation. Some of the shrinkage in wrestling happened early, but most of it occured later on, after quotas. It is mendacious and spiteful to require colleges to cut mens programs while not adding womens programs (because demand isnt there).
We dont ask numerical balance in dance, theater, fine arts, etc... so why sports? Oh, and did you notice that 57 % of incoming college students are female? What are we going to do about THAT imbalance?? (nothing, of course)
