...In chapter 27, entitled, “Title IX at 40,” Mary Jo Kane analyzes the importance that Title IX has played for women in sports and corrected many misconceptions associated with the legislation. Following the enactment of Title IX, women’s participation in sports has increased substantially; however, work toward integration of women in the sports world is not complete. As Kane says in her conclusion, parity has not yet been attained (252). Therefore, not only do I agree with Kane, but also I will argue that headway in some aspects of athletics has actually been reversed since the implementation of Title IX. My main argument follows the disjunctive model as follows: Either Title IX improved all aspects of women’s participation in sports, or had a neutral affect on women’s sports, or Title IX diminished women’s contribution to sports in some ways, while improving others. Title IX did not completely improve women’s participation in sports. Therefore, Title IX has diminished some of women’s contributions to the sports world....

...Katie Higgins Mr. Mishou English IV 12 April 2013 Title IX “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any educational program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance” (Primer). These thirty-seven words make up the civil rights law Title IX, which is widely known for reforming athletics, although it is never directly mentioned. First, the detailed history shows how many people worked rigorously to get the law passed. Furthermore, Title IX’s numerous tests show how verify schools complying with the law. Lastly, Title IX has increased the participation of women in athletics significantly over the past forty years. Title IX, the controversial federal civil rights act, has shaped athletics to how they are today by creating equal opportunities for female athletes. Flashback forty-one years to before Title IX changed the lives girls and women forever. Girls were not encouraged to play sports at a young and scholarships were not available for women to play athletics in college. People like Pat Summitt, arguably one of the best women’s basketball coaches ever, was not receiving fair treatment while playing collegiate basketball. In 1972, before Title IX was signed, Summitt played basketball for the University of Tennessee-Martin. The team was given uniforms that were used in the Physical Education classes and placed numbers on the back with tape....

...Each year something dramatic or historic will occur will we be there to witness it or be the ones to tell the story to the young generation. This is 2 years after Title IX is imposed and rules are being implemented, there is hope and despair in the air for this to be a new move in sports by raising the question how do we create equity for women. In this paper, I will describe the view of an African American women who was born in Southern California and grew up after Title IX was created. She also tell me the other of growing up like being a fat and a tomboy which effected her day to day choices on what sport or physical activity she participated in. Kharyshi Wiginton, interviewed about her choice of physical activity and sport was born in Pomona...

...Professional sport is a phenomenon of considerable importance to many, especially in the United States, leading it to attract major recognition by the media (Raney & Bryant, 2006). Super Bowl 50’s audience was the third largest in history, with 111.9 million television viewers (Pallotta & Stelter, 2016). Not only are major sporting events broadcasted and analyzed by many television stations strictly devoted to sports, but they are also covered by local and national news channels and newspapers as well as internet-based news outlets. With that being said, sports in the media has a deep impact in molding American society (Macri, 2012). History has shown that the industry of sports media has been a male-dominated territory (Hardin & Shain, 2005). Women have come a long way, fighting for equality in the work place since Title IX was passed in 1972, stating that “No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected...

...transgender fifth grader, has been identifying as a female for nearly two years. The school agreed that Susan could use the communal girls’ restroom; however, a fifth grade boy began following Susan into the bathroom to exercise his right. I believe this boy, who is being directed by his father, has no reason to use the girls’ restroom other than to harass, embarrass, and draw attention to Susan. As a teacher, it is my responsibility to meet with the principal to discuss this issue in order to protect my students and provide a safe environment. I will be using the legal standards Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act of 1973 and Title IX as well as case law to argue that Susan has the right to use the girls’ restroom and unless students...

...College hoops' black coaching issue Myron Medcalf [ARCHIVE] ESPN.com | July 18, 2013 When a national sportswriter calls to talk about minority hiring in college basketball, folks of all races seem to get nervous. As I sought feedback following last week's release of the "2012 Racial and Gender Report Card: College Sport" by Central Florida's Institute for Diversity and Ethics in Sport -- the report excludes historically black colleges and universities -- which states that the current pool of Division I African-American head coaches (18.6 percent through the 2011-12 season) is at its lowest mark since the 1995-96 season, people weren't sure what, if anything, they should say. Multiple administrators passed on the opportunity. The NCAA wanted to see my questions, and then it wanted a pre-interview phone conversation before it ultimately emailed its responses. The coaches who talked on the record always ended our chats with the same concern: "I didn't say anything that will make me look bad, right?" Shaka Smart Andy Lyons/Getty Images To reach Shaka Smart's level, black coaches often have to overcome certain labels. I don't blame them. It's an incendiary issue, because we're uncomfortable with race as dialogue. It's still a subject that makes athletic directors -- 89 percent of whom are white at the Division I level, per the report -- squirm. Minority coaches speak cautiously, because they don't want to be labeled as rebels or militants. That hesitancy...

Project Beneficiaries: 62 PUPILS WITHIN THE FRUSTRATION LEVEL E. Location of Beneficiaries: DON ROMANO MEMORIAL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL F. Date of Implementation: JULY 2016 – FEBRUARY 2016 G. Budget Requirement: Php 31,100 II. BACKGROUND/SITUATION ANALYSIS Don Romano Memorial Elementary School is located in Brgy. Talavera, Taganaan, Surigao del Norte. It has a population of 348 pupils. It caters Kindergarten to Grade 6. Based on the Phil-IRI result for school year 2015-2016 (refer to IX. Attachments No. 1), sixty-two out of 348 pupils are within the frustration level. When a child is no longer able to decode, analyze, and evaluate text, he is said to have reached his frustration level. This result is a problem since their academic performance in other subjects was also affected. Thus, the purpose of this project is to aid the pupils by transforming them from frustration level to instructional level until they reach the independent level in order to improve their academic performance. This project also aims to inculcate to the pupils the love for reading and its importance to the society. III. PROJECT OBJECTIVES ...

...In 1972, a major change in attempting to equalize males and females entered into the educational realm of the United States. This amendment aimed to end segregated classrooms, give more resources to women academically, and support both women and men to participate in school athletics (Andersen, 2015). Although many wins have occurred in the women’s movement because of this amendment, many failures have also ensued after the enactment of the law. “Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972 is a federal law prohibiting sec discrimination in federally funded education programs and activates” (Andersen, 2015 pg.298). This basically means that the state must fund women and men equally in sports and allow for women to receive the same educational rights as men. The law helped women to not have to sit in segregated classrooms and to have full access to resources like their male cohorts, but in the realm of sports had a completely different story. Although equally funded, women found themselves at a constant disadvantage with backers and support from the community....
