      Title X is a law that basically says that women can do what men can do educationally and physically. It says that it’s not  right for men to have special classes if they need extra help, if women can’t have them. It also states that women also should not be able to play any sports (softball, basketball, soccer etc.) if men are not allowed to play them. Basically, women should be able to have the same opportunities as men. I believe this article is 100% fair because it allows me to be in school right now, and play sports, and even get a scholarship. If someone eliminates women’s rights in college sports, it also means they would not be playing in any professional sports. That is definitely discrimination. I believe that women should definitely be able to participate in sports and school no matter what. I think that even if someone is special or bigger than someone else, they should have a chance just like anyone else would. This is a strong, important article that means a lot to women athletes all over the world. Also, as you can see it was a good choice to allow women to play sports, because they have definitely done our country proud.

Title X was started under President Nixon in 1970. Title X is now managed in the Department of Health and Human Services ’Office of Public Health and Science, Office of Population Affairs by the Office of Family Planning. Title X is a core component in the U.S health system. Now with the Title X it insures low-income women all of the following:  Comprehensive, culturally competent counseling and services; Breast and pelvic examinations; Breast and Cervical Cancer screening; Healthy body weight screening and counseling; HIV testing, and many more. Title X has done a lot for women all over for many different things, anywhere from sports to education and so on. It started under President Nixon and has continued to bless many women all over.
