Title IX Violations: An Example of Why the Public Education System does not Work

  • 5 days ago

It is no secret that our public education system is broken.  Teachers are making the news daily for crimes against children, students are graduating with low math and reading proficiency, children as young as 10 are committing suicide due to extreme bullying, medical tyranny continues to take place in public schools, indoctrination and "R" rated curriculum is being be used to advance immoral ideologies, and student behavior is out of control. 


Title IX violations are also continuing to happen across the country.


School districts are allowing boys into girls sports, such as track and field, swimming, and many others; they are allow boys into their locker rooms, under the guises of inclusion -- despite the Trump administration efforts to stop them (as well as the complaints from parents). Many school districts across the country, which are largely operated by left-wing ideologues, have sent the message that they do not care about the rule of law as described in Title IX or what parents think or believe, and that they are going to do whatever they want. And when parents object to a 6' 4" boy (actaully an adult) who is allowed to be in the girls locker room and parents sue the school district for discriminating against their teenager girls, the school districts are liekly to attack in response. The parents and their kids will be harassed by the school district, labeled as "bigots", and it will be parents and the community who ultimately pay the legal expenses on all sides. And the school district administrators will simply move on to other offensive and immoral acts.


The real solution to this problem is to shut it all down.


Imagine your teen gets into "a good school" (there's no such thing by the way). They work hard to excel in their sport, only for them to be forced to share a locker room with an intact male, masquerading as a girl, forced to forfeit their competition (when they choose not compete in an unfair competition) or get bumped from their placement due to a boy being on the opposing team. Situations like this are not at the fringe or rare at this point: they are happening all across the country. If your child plays on a high school team, it is very likely they will encounter any of these scenarios. For example, this girl's team was punished for forfeiting against a team with a biological male.


Children should never ever be on the front lines in fighting a culture war.


Such conflicts of culture have no place in an education system, which should be concerned with only equipping students with the foundational basics they need to succeed.


Here are some news stories about Title IX violations happening in the school system:


How many Title IX violations are the tax payers facilitating in your state?



The Public Education System Enables School Officials to Commit Title IX Violations


PE (physical education) is a federal requirement, as well as a required part of the curriculum in nearly every state. PE is part of the public school "package", which includes in-class and extra-curriculr sports. Today, we are witnessing the fact that school administrators have (and will) use their power to effect left-wing ideologies (transgenderism, anti-racism indoctrinations, which is a form of racism in of itself, prejudicial history teaching that the founders of the United States were evil, etc. etc. etc) regardless of what parent's believe --- even in contravention of Supreme Court rulings to the contrary.


Consider this scenario: a school district decides to be more "inclusive" to transgender individuals and sets in place a policy that allows boys to use the girl's locker-room, based upon their self-determined gender identity. The school officials laud themselves for their moral righteousness, patting themselves on the back, in standing up against and fighting the cultural bigotry of the United States. If anyone would disagree with their policies they enforce punishments, both formal and informal. Can a student resist and speak out against such policies? No. Remember that the Supreme Court has ruled repeatedly that 1st amendment does not apply within a public school and can be narrowly limited. And students can be both formally punished as well as informally harrassed, such as when a PE teacher gives a student a bad grade for non-participation. What about the teachers, can they speak out? No, because they are employees of the school district and they are required to carry out the school district's policies. What about parents -- can they do anything? Not really, no, because: 1) they may not ever become aware what is going or may be informed too late after the fact, or 2) a single parent or even a group of parent's only recourse is either to sue the school district (costly) or elect their own school administration (difficult or impossible). And if they succeed in any of these, they will only succeed in being able to pull their own students out of school or opt out of specific areas. In other words, there is no boycotting the public education system: school sports and ideologically oriented policies will be part of the curriculum whether you disagree with them or not, because it is ultimately the school district that determines policies and not individual parents.


Moreover, schools have an incentive to keep their Title IX violations secret from parent's and the community. Parents are not present in the classroom or on the field on a daily basis, leaving children alone with coaches and teachers when they are able act-out their ideologically oriented policies. There are no cameras in the classroom or the gym for parents to view, and no audio recordings of the private conversations that may happen out on a grass field or in a locker room. If a Title IX violation does occur, would parents know about it? Do you think they would announce it on their facebook page? Would there be a news segment about it happening in your local high school? NO! Even if the public becomes aware of it somehow, the school still gets their funding to continue, and parents will still choose to place their children in school sports as if it was just a minor, fringe incident.


Stop it parents! You cannot morally equivocate from your beliefs.

If you believe in God and you are a Christian, you cannot have one set of beliefs to rule in church and another for your kids in school.


If a parent knew about a boy on their daughter's volleyball team, they really have three choices: remove their daughter from school, remove them from volleyball, or continue allowing their child to participate regardless of the violations. Sometimes there is no choice to discontinue the sport if the violation happens in the general sports classes, locker rooms and bathrooms.


School parents in many ways enable Title IX violations. It is our opinion that most parents choose to ignore the violations. Faux DINK parents may not care, since school is really just a baby sitter for such people. Other parents may be overly committed to their child's sports and will participate no matter what happens. Or parent's may ignore such violations because they believe in trans-rights or they think it is not a big deal. In any case, Title IX violations are likely to continue, given that there will always be only minority willing and able to stand up for their own rights.

Title IX violations do not happen in a private sports setting


For example, our children participate in gymnastics recently at a private gym. There were boys classes and girls classes as well as separate bathrooms. Title IX violations would never happen there for several reasons:


  1. There is no privacy at the gym, so as to prevent the very situations (harrassment, bullying) which occur regularly in the public school system. Parents are strongly encouraged to watch the classes in the designated areas through a widow or with their phone. There are security cameras everywhere. Coaches are never visibly alone with a child or with group of children.

  2. They are at private business and have an incentive to maintain their integrity in their sport in the gymnastics community as well as a small business in town. It would be a risk to allow a boy to wear a girls leotard and participate in the girls class as a girl. Most parents would not put their children into such a scenario in the first place.

  3. Parents are paying for the gymanistics and the performance of the instructors is in teaching gynamstics. Conversely, only given the government monopoly of the public edcuation system such violations occur, because parents are forced to pay for public education, whether they agree with a school district's policies or not.



What Specifically is a Title IX Violation?


Title IX is a federal statute which states, in a clear and unambiguous language that:

“No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance.”

Title IX violations occur when boys are allowed to participate in girl's sports programs, as doing so denies girls the benefit of competing in a league which is not discriminatory against them, thereby acting as a form of discrimination in of itself. That is to say, if a bioligcal female is forced to compete in an athletic event against a biological male who retains the physical capabilities of a male (even in part), such creates an unfair competitive environment. And indeed, this claim has been supported many times, as transgender girls (biological males) competiting in such girl's programs as swimming, track and field, weight lifting, basketball, and other sports regularly win such competitions. 

https://www.shewon.org is a website that tracks competitions that were "won" by a male competing against females. This website illustrates the fact that men competing in girls sports is not an "isolated issue". Protecting women and girls should be a priority in our country, beginning with cutting tax payer funded programs promoting it like the public school system.

In fact, the definition of a girl's league is that it has been formed for the purpose of creating a fair competitive environment for girls. The same is not true of boys leagues, where a person of any sex may compete (e.g.: the football team is not part of a "boy's only" league).


Title IX violations also occur when a biological male is allowed access to a facility (such as a locker room) allocated for girls. In this context, Title IX requires equal funding between boys and girls programs and facilities ("benefits"). But if boys may use the girl's locker room, in addition to it being unsafe for girls, it also is taking away a benefit from girls and giving it to boys.



Why Title IX Violations are a Problem for Everyone


By perpetuating the Title IX violations, the public school system is creating a culture of indoctrination, where boys and girls are both forced to comply and go along with a tyranny instituted by a small minority of society. More so, it is a tyranny that is purposefully discriminating against Christians and forcing others to go along with their secular religious beliefs, that a boy can masquerade as a girl). This attempt at ideologically indoctrination is like a trickle of a stream that will later grow to become a river that carves up the country between Christians and those who believe in God, and those who would label anyone that defies their ideology as bigots, who need to be stamped out and suppressed. Indeed, this is already happening. But our children cannot speak-up for themselves: they are not equipped to stand up for the truth. And even if you don't have children, would you want any child to grow up thinking that a boy can be a girl (and vice versa)?


We must speak up and defend those who cannot speak for themselves

Open your mouth for the mute, for the rights of all who are destitute. 9 Open your mouth, judge righteously, defend the rights of the poor and needy. Proverbs 31:8-9


"My family members are not athletes". Or "this does not affect me because we do not use the public school system". We must always be on the side of truth. We cannot be silent when there are clear indicators of injustice and we should discontinue funding and actual support of organizations that promote dangerous policies like boys competing in girls sports. There is also a future legacy to protect for female athletics. In ten years, your grandchildren may want to compete in higher level sports competitions. Would they have a fair chance in their tournament or will they be competing against a male?




How fixing the law doesn't work, because people interpret the law and they can interpret it however they would like


Some parents have called for reforms, compromising on Title IX's strict usage of the word "sex" (not gender) or pushing that new statues should be passed that allow for some flexibility. Such compromises will not fix the problems we've described: inevitably, school administrators, school districts, and state officials will be the ones applying the law. And while parent's may be able to sue a school when a state or school district is breaking the law, suing a government organization is a risky and likely-to-fail affair.


And moving to a new school district or town is also not the proper solution because school districts change their leadership and policies often. Your children might move to a different school only to encounter the same issues.


Homeschooling is the best option. Homeschoolers have more freedom of association. The private sports classes we participate in like martial arts, gymnastics or ice skating counts towards our instruction time. We are able to choose activities that work best for our family. We can discontinue services if and when we want to for any reason. Parents are able to view classes providing a layer of safety not found in the public school system.


Homeschooling is not the only solution to Title IX violations in public school, but it is the best one, since when you homeschool you are the manager of all aspect's of your child's education. As homeschool veterans, we are obviously supporters of home education. However, it is a small solution to dealing with Title IX violations and other problems in the school system. There are some people who really cannot leave the school system and we are still funding it with our tax dollars which perpetuates the overall transsexual propaganda and tyranny.



Funding public education is the problem


The only solution is to cut the funding and shut it down.


Schools should provide for the absolute basics of teaching students to read, write, do arithmetic, some basics of the history of the founding of the United States, focusing on the US Constitution, the Declaration of Independence, the founding of the country, and the importance of laws and civics, and should include physical fitness only, and nothing more.


By reducing the scope of public education to a limited scope from an expansive one, the costs would also be greatly reduced and all of the current management and budgeting problems would be resolved, resulting in a significant economic return to the communities that the public school system is currently impoverishing. The public school system would be made fiscally responsible.

Our community would also benefit from a smaller cost for public education. Small businesses that provide sports programming would thrive. Taxes would be lower which would create a lower cost of living.
