Barbara Walters comment may have been an accident, but it is also the
political agenda behind the John Stossel's of the country - to get rid
of Title IX and its protections for equalizing athletic opportunity
and for empowering women too greatly with sexual harassment
prohibitions - in my opinion. - Barbara, it is not hard to lose a law!
It is hard to get one and to keep it. Brown vs. The Board of
Education didn't change much between 1954 and 1960. It was when
people started to use it, as in the sit-down actions and the freedom
rides that things started to change, and it is now that we are really
making progress on Title IX that "misinformation" such as Stossel's
will be spread until it becomes (another of their favorite words)
commonsense that we should have this law and "favor girls", who after
all aren't even a minority. Throw in those that support single sex
schools and classrooms and you can see how effective this
misinformation political agenda, campaign to eliminate Title IX is
becoming.
