Petition

We, the undersigned citizens of the United States of America, applaud the intent of Title IX and agree that athletic opportunity is important to both male and female athletes.

We, however, disagree with the interpretation of Title IX by the Department of Education. The Education Department has created three ways for a school to avoid discrimination under Title IX. One of these ways, proportionality (preferences), is a quota that operates only to destroy opportunities for males.

The other two ways to comply with Title IX require that the school increase female opportunities. The first of these rules requires that the school have a history and continuing practice of increasing opportunity for females. The second requires that the school accommodate the athletic interests of all of the female athletes at the school. We fully support both of these rules increasing female participation.

Presently for every female added under the above rules, four or five male athletes are being dropped. If the present trend continues, many sports programs for men at the college level will soon be extinct.

WE BELIEVE THEREFORE THAT THE GENDER PREFERENCES AND QUOTAS MUST BE ABOLISHED. WE URGE ALL PRESIDENTIAL AND CONGRESSIONAL CANDIDATES TO STATE THEIR AGREEMENT WITH THE ABOVE PRINCIPLES AND ASK THAT THEY STATE THEIR SOLEMN INTENTION TO ABOLISH PROPORTIONALITY AFTER THEY ARE ELECTED.
