In the 1970's, a federal law called Title IX was created to equalize sports and education between boys and girls. The idea was to have equal opportunities for boys and girls in sports and higher education. However, it created limitations in schools, as some schools had to drop boys sports and add girls sports to be equal. Sometimes, colleges had to limit the number of scholarships given to boys to encourage girls to go to college.
The result is there are many more girls playing sports and going to college.
Is the Title IX law fair or not? Post your opinion with at least one detail supporting your answer. Try to use one of these words: inequity, resources, adequate, illustrate, disproportionate.

I think Title IX is unfair because if schools have to add girl sports then they drop some of the boys resorces for sports. Thats why i think it s unfair.

I think that Title IX is not very fair because if the government decided that women should have more oppertunities then they should have funded it themselves instead of taking away from mens sports.

I think Title IX is fair because there should be just as many boy sports as there are girl sports.

I think Title IX is half fair I think girls should have equal rights of education and sports but I do not think other things should be cut I think that girls should be able to participate but dont think you should take away the rights for boys to play sports so girls can.

I tink Title IX is not fair. I think this because colleges should be able to choose what sports they provide. If a girl wants to play a certain sport than they can find a college that does fund that sport. It is not fair that some sports have to be stopped in order to make everything even.

I think that Title IX is not a fair law. They take money and scholorships from mens sports. They also take money away from mens sports. Girls don't play alot of sports anyways.

I think Title IX is fair because women should have the same rights as boys do in sports and education. It also makes girls have a more variety of choices of what they want to do in life.

I think title IX is not fair because girls are no diffrent then guys but they shouldnt have to take sports away from them and have more scholorships. They should have eqaul amount of sports but diffrent teams one team with girls and one team with boys.

I think Title IX is fair. It should not be harder for a female to get into college or have limited resources for sports. That would be voting in the 1800's all over again.

Chelsea N.

I think that it is fair. Boys should not be allowed any more rights than girls even when it comes to sports. Boys sports might make a lot of resources but that does not mean all the money should go to them. I think having equal boys and girls sports will have women make better decisions to if they can play a sport. There should be no equity in sports.

I think the IX is not fair because people normaly go to see boys in stead of girls and then law has have the girls play it like boys thats and boys should have more sports then more people would be more thats what I think.

I feel boys and girls sports have an inequity between the two. Not just have a boys soccer and football team then have girls only have a volleyball team, I mean if boys have football and soccer then girls should have volleyball and softball or any other sport just having them both equal.

I thinke that it was good to do that for the girls.
I thought it was better to do it with girls because they can do as good as boy can and raise a lot of money for there sport. Also one last thing is the percentage of girls who play sport don't smoke or drop out of school as much. That is what I think about girls being able to play sports.
