Excluding the contributions of women in a curriculum is bias. Your
confusion over discrimination is understandable. I use "discrimination" in
a legal sense- and- thus, don't call such omissions "discrimination." The
horrid thing about bias is that it grows over time and often can lead to
discrimination. I liken it to a resident virus just slowly eroding the true
health of the country. Bias to me is a symptom of a deeper problem that
causes us to "divide" along lines of difference, instead of celebrating the
differences.

Sometimes I think I get more amd more ''confused'' regarding Title IX.
Iam reading here information distributed by the New York State Education
Department A SUMARY OF THE TITLE IX IMPLEMENTING REGULATIONS
and when it comes to TEXTBOOKS AND CURRICULAR MATERIALS, it
says:
Nothing in the Regulation requires or prohibits the use of particular
textbooks or curricular materials. So is this mean that a teacher can
continue to exclude women from their curriculum and she is not
discriminating ??
