2)The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) and "high school administrators complained that boys' sports would suffer if girls' sports had to be funded equally." The NCAA "offered no athletic scholarships for women and held no championships for women’s teams." These two quotes show how organizations tried to degrade women and their rights. ]]> 2016-11-07 14:01:00 UTC https://padlet.com/agore001/dmy7i1kx3inx/wish/135763424 https://padlet.com/agore001/dmy7i1kx3inx/wish/135764840 2016-11-07 14:04:10 UTC https://padlet.com/agore001/dmy7i1kx3inx/wish/135764840 https://padlet.com/agore001/dmy7i1kx3inx/wish/135767330 Amendment 15 states that "The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude." This  amendment is important because it supports and enforces that everybody is equal even if they have different skin color. ]]> 2016-11-07 14:09:40 UTC https://padlet.com/agore001/dmy7i1kx3inx/wish/135767330 ashtonkirsch https://padlet.com/agore001/dmy7i1kx3inx/wish/135767727 A set of statutes in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania that defines the limits of Section 21 of the Pennsylvania Constitution, which predates the United States Constitution and reads: "The right of the citizens to bear arms in defense of themselves and the State shall not be questioned." The laws range in scope from use of force in self-defense situations, to specific categories citizens are ineligible to purchase or possess firearms. UFA for Pennsylvania is generally a more Liberal interpretation of the Right to Bear Arms, in that it does not prohibit the sale and transfer of Class III NFA(National Firearms Act, enacted on June 26, 1934, in general, imposes a statutory excise tax on the manufacture and transfer of certain firearms and mandates the registration of those firearms.) Firearms, contains no duty for a citizen lawfully carrying a weapon to notify law enforcement,  and mandates 'Shall-Issue' licenses to carry firearms to eligible citizens. The object of concealed weapons statutes is to protect the public by preventing an individual from having at hand, a weapon of which the public is unaware.]]> 2016-11-07 14:10:32 UTC https://padlet.com/agore001/dmy7i1kx3inx/wish/135767727 https://padlet.com/agore001/dmy7i1kx3inx/wish/135770580 3) Under Presidents Reagan and Bush, the enforcement of the law came to a halt. "The ruling court said Title IX did not cover entire educational institutions - only those programs directly receiving federal funds. Other programs, such as athletics, that did not receive federal funds, were free to discriminate on the basis of gender."

4) "But women's rights groups fought back. Four years later, over Reagan's veto, Congress passed the Civil Rights Restoration Act of 1988. This act nullified the effects of the Grove City ruling by outlawing sex discrimination throughout an entire educational institution." Title IX then became a top priority in schools. This quotes shows how females finally received the right to participate in activities, through the school, without facing discrimination. Both genders were given equal rights.]]> 2016-11-07 14:15:49 UTC https://padlet.com/agore001/dmy7i1kx3inx/wish/135770580 https://padlet.com/agore001/dmy7i1kx3inx/wish/135772171 By: Morgan Marlowe]]> 2016-11-07 14:18:43 UTC https://padlet.com/agore001/dmy7i1kx3inx/wish/135772171 https://padlet.com/agore001/dmy7i1kx3inx/wish/135776724 Now, under Title IX, students, both male and female, are treated equally, allowed to participate in sports, and are also allowed to receive scholarships for academics and sports.]]> 2016-11-07 14:27:01 UTC https://padlet.com/agore001/dmy7i1kx3inx/wish/135776724 ashtonkirsch https://padlet.com/agore001/dmy7i1kx3inx/wish/135787596 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Firearms_Act General information, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/National_Firearms_Act Backup file of NFA, involving basis for part of law involved in UFA]]> 2016-11-07 14:48:12 UTC https://padlet.com/agore001/dmy7i1kx3inx/wish/135787596 https://padlet.com/agore001/dmy7i1kx3inx/wish/135788088 http://www.history.com/this-day-in-history/title-ix-enacted
