Title IX MAY (stressing "may") have had good intentions, but we've seen the disastrous results time and time again when government sticks its nose into public policy. (An area where the government has no constitutional authority to concern itself with.) Title IX has since turned out to be a quota system that tries to promote equity by decimating men's sports. The road to hell is clearly paved with good intentions./rwa

Going to call B.S. On this one. There are plenty of men's “sports” that don't make money! I've noticed over the years that the only folks that complain about title 9 don't have female athletes.

How did an honorable equity law turn into a scorched-earth campaign against men’s sports?

It is highly debatable that it was ever honorable.

In our democracy, the government may not play favorites among races or religions or between the sexes.

Hey Time. America does not have a democracy. It is a representative republic... How do you not know that??

Another thing that should be pointed out is that there are sports like hockey, lacrosse and soccer that will never become Varsity sports because of Title IX.. Ask a AD at any college asking why they don’t have these sports and they will tell you flat out TITLE IX. I like her recommnedation of just exempting football from the law as their is no equivalent sport for women.

I was n athletic teen girl and a competing gymnast in high school a few years prior to title ix...All I wish is that we could have gotten equal gym time with the guys ... we got 2 hours on Tues & Thursday.

The same way a law to stop huge corporations from dumping chemicals into rivers turned into a law that allows the government to control what you do with your own land if you have as much as a drainage ditch that runs through it.

The same way a simple law to provide for school lunches turned into a mechanism for the federal government to dictate every facet of a local school from curriculum to what type of wheelchair ramp they must install.

Basically, the overreach of government agencies with the willing assistance of liberal judges in a consorted effort to advance a radical agenda that could never make it into law by normal channels.

I can explain how it went wrong with 4 letters:
NCAA

They chose to interpret equal opportunity as equal head count and that screwed up everything.

It was never a good law.

It was not a “good law”, it was evil from the word go.
