Everyone knows that no one, including affirmative action activists, likes quotas, but the National Women’s Law Center is urging Senators to vote against the nomination of Thomas Griffith to the Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia because they say his past proposals would “gut” Title IX.
How, you ask, would he have done that?
Mr. Griffith’s proposal would have eliminated entirely the “substantial proportionality” test for Title IX compliance, which allows schools to comply by offering athletic opportunities to male and female students in substantial proportion to each gender’s representation in the student body.
But at least the NWLC doesn’t believe in quotas….
The determination of feminist women to remake the world according to feminism is truly awesome.
The fly in the ointment is that the vast majority of women are not feminists. So, these women don’t want what feminists want them to want.
The trouble with the “proportionality test” is that fewer girls than boys want to participate in sports. Feminists think it is their job to change this. They are wrong.
Quotas are a means of enforcing that which most of us do not want. But, hey, feminists know better than the rest of us, don’t they?
