Title IX Could Do For High School Sports What It's Done for College Sports - Cut Opportunties for Boys

And someone is trying to stop it:

In one of the first major challenges of the application of Title IX’s three-point test in high schools, the American Sports Council (ASC) filed a lawsuit Thursday against the U.S. Department of Education.

The federal lawsuit argues that the department’s use of gender quotas in high school athletic programs is a violation of the Constitution’s Equal Protection Clause.

According to the ASC, formerly the College Sports Council, Title IX activists have been “intimidating” high school districts that they say do not have an adequate “gender balance” in their athletic departments.

Nationally, 1.3 million more boys than girls play high school sports. ASC believes compliance with the current interpretation of the law would result in those boys losing their opportunity to continue playing.

“Not only is this interpretation not supported by law, it has the potential of destroying much of what is so good about the uniquely American athletic system — one that produces the world’s best scholar-athletes,” said ASC Chairman, Eric Pearson. “This pattern of legal intimidation needs to stop.”

Without question Title IX did some good things for women athletes, but as usually happens with these well-meaning regulations, they're carried to extreme and result in a different sort of discrimination. Take this story from May:

When the University of Delaware announced it was downgrading the men’s varsity track and cross country programs to club teams earlier this year, the administration said the decision was to keep the school in compliance with Title IX, the 1972 federal law prohibiting sex-based discrimination in educational institutions that receive federal funding.

“With so many teams and the rising costs necessary to operate an intercollegiate athletics program of this magnitude, we were simply faced with a challenge to uphold our commitment to gender equity," David Brond, vice president of communications and marketing at the university, said in a press release in January. “While this was a difficult decision, this action demonstrates the University’s commitment to the equity principles embodied in Title IX.”

All across the country there are stories of universities and colleges cutting men's teams because they can't get enough women to participate in sports programs and thus have "equality".  Men who have sports skills and talent are denies opportunities, but that's okay in the world of political correctness.

Title IX has outlived its usefulness.
