Sexual Respect & Title IX
“No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any educational program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.”
– Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972
What is Title IX?
Most people think Title IX is just for schools with Athletics, but did you know that Title IX also promotes and opens the door for women and girls pursuing math and science? It requires fair treatment for pregnant and parenting students, and protects all students from bullying and sexual harassment, among other things.
