The fact that it is now being bastardized by the leftists and their support of males suffering from gender dysphoria, or just plain scamming the system for personal gain, was never anticipated when Title IX went into effect.
The DOJ enforcement of Title IX in college athletics has forced schools to ensure that it offers the same number of female athletes and male athletes — even if very few women have any interest in the schools’ sports programs.
So if a school with 500 male athletes among 10,000 male students has 10,000 female students, it must provide funding for sports programs that accommodate 500 female athletes. If only 200 females participate in the school’s athletic program, then the school is forced to cut 300 male athletes from its sports program in order to comply with the Federal Title IX requirements. The end result of all this is that many schools end up eliminating successful — and sometimes very popular — men’s teams in events like wrestling and cycling just to meet some stupid bureaucrat’s requirement for “equality.”
