Equality I Goal Cf Title IX Chefs Class for boys only is out. Title IX of the Education Amendments of I972, passed by Congress, was designed to eliminate discrimination on the basis of sex in any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance. All courses - including home economics, vocational arts, in- dustrial arts, health, business. and PE classes - must be coeducational, and counseling and aptitude tests must be non- discriminatory. The exceptions are PE participation in body con- tact sports such as wrestling and football and portions of health classes dealing with human sexuality. Some parts of the law are effective now? schools are given three years to comply with other parts. Fair treatment is still a goal in America. INWWW C: Q Q Q prwbw Q er gr lu? ....
