Prior to Title IX, women’s sports were largely ignored and underfunded, with limited opportunities for participation and scholarships. The law mandated equal opportunities for women in sports, leading to the growth of women’s athletics and also a significant increase in female participation in sports. In college, the implementation of Title IX was monitored by the Office for Civil Rights (OCR), which ensured that schools followed the law by examining the number of scholarships, participation, opportunities, and resources allocated to women (Boschert 90). This led to an increase in the number of women’s teams, athletic scholarships, and facilities that provide equal opportunities for both

The ruling was pronounced before schools are scheduled to open for the next academic year. Texas and 11 other states had sued the Department of Education and Department of Justice over the directive which extends the Title IX law to interpret restrictions over bathroom use in accordance with birth genders as sexual discrimination. US District Judge Reed O 'Connor said that the federal education law in Title IX was not ambiguous about the definition of sex determined at birth.
Federal Service Academies and Title IX The Education Amendments of 1972 included Title IX, which protects both men and women from sex discrimination at any educational institution that accepts federal funding (Winslow, 2010). The five Federal Service Academies (FSAs), the Coast Guard Academy, the Merchant Marine Academy, the Air Force Academy, the Naval Academy and the Military Academy at West Point are exempt from Title IX (New, 2014). When Title IX was passed in 1972 women were not admitted to any of the FSAs and were not admitted until 1975 (New, 2014). Since 1975, the federal government has threatened or pulled funding from education institutions that do not abide by Title IX, but the FSAs continue to disregard Title IX even though they run almost exclusively on federal funding (Johnson, Carter, Caslen, Helis, & Stosz, 2015).

In regards to providing an equal education I believe this ruling did help to level the playing field. All students would now be receiving equal education and facilities giving them equal opportunity. I do know that it didn 't exactly go down peacefully and many African Americans still did not receive fair treatment for many many years but it was a stepping stone to move education in the right direction.

The discontinuation of high school sports will cause many students to loose the health, social and educational benefits provided by participating in athletics. The School District should continue to fund sports because they benefit students.

For, instance, if college athletes were to unionize and get paid, then all collegiate athletes would want the same compensation deal, although their sport doesn’t generate as much revenue as power and performance sports such as football and basketball.
