" This was debated between all three branches of the government and the public. Basically, this question is asking can we use things like gender, ethnicity or race to bring social justice or benefits? ]]> 2021-03-24 15:14:55 UTC https://padlet.com/owens_k/xtnc909w19skogy4/wish/1348450875 https://padlet.com/owens_k/xtnc909w19skogy4/wish/1348450914 I believe the most relevant part of Title IX right now is no one shall "[Provide] unequal educational resources to students of one sex compared to another".

It further protects against sexual harassment, a part that does not seem to be touched on as often. In my opinion, when someone thinks of Title IX, they think of sports equality. ]]> 2021-03-24 15:14:55 UTC https://padlet.com/owens_k/xtnc909w19skogy4/wish/1348450914 https://padlet.com/owens_k/xtnc909w19skogy4/wish/1348452411 even with the 15th amendment very few African Americans where actually voting. so they had very little political influence. eventually in 1965 they made it so no literacy tests or stuff like that was needed to be able to vote. ]]> 2021-03-24 15:15:11 UTC https://padlet.com/owens_k/xtnc909w19skogy4/wish/1348452411 https://padlet.com/owens_k/xtnc909w19skogy4/wish/1348455320 After the 15th Amendment was passed African Americans still faced many obstacles when it came to voting.

It outlawed literacy tests and provided the appointment of Federal examiners. It also required preclearance if voting practices and  procedures are changed. There is more direct federal control of voter registration.

Due to the states and local areas making their own rules for what qualifies to vote, they could easily make it a lot harder and discriminate against black people. The Voting Rights Act of 1965 changed this as they made it so the states and local areas weren't deciding the qualifications and they outlawed specific things like literacy tests that discriminated against black people in voting.

So if your school wants to spend a billion dollars on football, they also need to spend the same amount on some women's sport. This is why women's crew teams on university campuses are super big.
