Article here. Excerpt:

'Title IX requires girls to have the same opportunities to compete in sports as boys, but what about allowing boys to compete on girls’ teams. It’s a growing trend in Section V, especially in volleyball.

One local athlete loves the sport of volleyball, but when budget cuts stopped him from being able to play on the boys’ team at school; he tried out for the girls’ team.

Ben Ellingham, Pittsford Mendon senior, said, “I've never really been a football or soccer player I tried it but it wasn't my love, I tried volleyball and something just clicked for me.”

Mendon senior Ben Ellingham certainly stands out on the volleyball court.

Ellingham said, “The first year, I was out of my comfort zone, but I got used to it.”'

Title IX

Even a casual reading of Title IX indicates that the women-dominated courses are way out of compliance, for almost every university and college in the country.

We’re going to have to cut back the number of women in French, English, Nursing, Drama, Art etc. until they match the number of men in those courses.

However, it is probably far too late; men and their lawyers have a good case by now.

They’re going to sue the $$$$ out of institutions of higher learning.

Any comments?
