[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Title ix does require equal levels of facilities.  So, if the baseball field has covered dugouts then the softball field has to have covered dugouts.

But -[b] this question really is focused on where are the numbers.  It’s not an option to have fewer girls athletic opportunities.  It’s a legal requirement to have equal opportunities. [/b] So - if you do a count - where do you come out?
Count the kids up.

But "opportunities" isn't necessarily the same as how many students actually participate.   If a particular school just has fewer girls interested in participating in sports one year, the school is required to cut boys sports?  That's messed up.[/quote]

Yes.  Title IX is 52 years old this year.  Schools have had 52 years to equalize opportunities.  When Title was passed - the numbers were; boys 3,666,917, girls 294,975.  For the 2022-23 school year the numbers were, boys 4,529,795 and girls 3,318,184.

Add sports for girls.  Cut sports for boys.  Do both.  It will be amazing how fast sports get added if you say - got to cut boys sports.  But — where are your kid’s high school’s numbers at?
