Why do we continue to point to lower participating numbers of women in sports to justify the assertion that society is persecuting women? I was a part of a state high school championship team in Colorado and we never cut anybody. My daughters' teams in this very school (Deer Valley) district were regional champions 11 years running. Nobody on their teams got cut. I would assert that the opportunities are there even with the good teams/schools. Is it possible that overall less women are interested in sports? Badminton would put us in compliance??? Swell.
And for what it's worth, I think Hogshead got touched out in the 84 Olympics.
Fort, it's been awhile, please educate me again.:)

Bringing it back to the subject at hand, how hard do you think it would be to write a fully proscribed Title IX law which would work equally well for school district superintendents in Sandpoint, ID, San Diego, CA and New York, NY, and would properly anticipate the needs of the overall population 30, 40 or 50 years into the future?

I think your clarification on laws being interpreted was the whole point of my tongue in cheek diatribe on "opportunity".
The reason Title IX gets a bad rap, is the intent gets lost in the detail of the suit being brought. Someone "counts" something rather than look at the larger picture. The intent is lost in the detail of the suit.
