“I am particularly honored to join with the gentlewoman from Hawaii (Mrs. Mink), the author of title IX, on the 30th anniversary of this great program that would not have happened without her. When most people think of title IX, they think of women's sports; and the impact of title IX on women's sports can clearly be seen all over the Nation. Title IX has increased numbers of girls and women who participate in sports in high school and in college. Title IX has contributed to the impressive achievements of American female athletes at the Olympic Games, and we can see the impact of title IX when we watch professional women's basketball and soccer teams on television and on the field. Title IX is an important player on every woman's sports team, but title IX has another important role to play and that is in the classroom, particularly in vocational and technical education classes. The results of the survey reveal that pervasive sex segregation in vocational and technical education programs all around the country still exist.”
