The title 9 prostitution is just the tip of the ice berg that is progressivism.
Leave no stone under turned or rotten log rolled over to expose the hypocrisy and tyranny that now exists in the swamp that passes for our government. The insanity of the progressives has no limit. Failing to recognize this fact ensure everyone's demise.
If this concept is to difficult to understand the accept the consequences without blaming someone else other then the one you see in the mirror. Know this, the criminals that are now running our government are there because the people put them there.
Title IX: From Athletics to Assault

How did a federal law aimed at improving opportunities for college women to participate in athletics become a vehicle for extensive federal involvement in schools' sexual assault programs?
David Wilezol, co-author of "Is College Worth It?" with former Education Secretary William Bennett, explains how Title IX has become unrecognizable. In 1972, Congress passed the Education Amendments, which included a section that forbade federally-funded colleges from excluding women from activities on the basis of sex: "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."
That section -- known as Title IX -- was meant to improve athletic opportunities for women. But in 1977, Yale law student Catherine McKinnon insisted that sexual harassment was a limit on educational opportunity. She and a group of friends filed a lawsuit on that basis against Yale. The suit was dismissed on standing grounds, but Yale began to create grievance processes for harassment cases, as did other schools.
Wilezol explains that there was no federal mandate that sexual assault cases be considered Title IX violations -- the Supreme Court had never addressed the issue. Terry Pell, who served in the Reagan Department of Education's Civil Rights division, said that his department considered sexual harassment and assault the fault of the student perpetrators, not the fault of the schools. However, a rape and murder at Lehigh University in 1986 prompted new legislation in 1990, from which point the federal government grew more and more involved in sexual assault on campus. Wilezol explains:
Wilezol warns that schools are going to find themselves under even greater scrutiny in coming years, thanks to the new guidelines from the Education Department. He encourages schools to challenge the new procedures but fears that such challenges are unlikely.

Wilezol explains:
- In 1990, Congress passed the Clery Act and required that schools report on-campus crimes to the federal government. The Department of Education is in charge of compliance, and schools are charged for failing to report incidents.
- In 1992, Congress required that any schools receiving federal funding develop sexual assault policies and grievance procedures. The Department of Education also monitored compliance with the law, and grants were given to schools for providing sexual assault training.
- In 1997, the Department of Education -- and the Bush Administration in 2001 -- said that schools should deal with sexual assault under Title IX.
