Title IX athletes make a strong showing
Federal legislation in 1972 mandated parity for girls in school athletics. This year's Olympics showed how much it mattered.
|
In 1972, Congress passed Title IX, a section of the educational amendments, to counter gender inequities in any educational institution that received federal funding. Title IX prohibits discrimination against girls and women in federally funded education--including athletics programs. Besides giving women and girls opportunities to attend colleges on athletic scholarships, Title IX has given some girls the chance to just participate in certain sports for the first time, and it has given many of them the chance to excel at those sports. And with young girls' exposure to so many national and international role models, things can only get better.
