Thank a liberal.

My daughter is in collegiate sports, why should she thank either
liberal or conservative?

Title 9, Ted Kennedy. We're indebted to him despite his faults.

"It is difficult to characterize the impact of Title IX on athletics
in an unbiased way. Advocates cite increases in female athletic
participation; however, such increases might have occurred in the
absence of legislation."

"The law was renamed as the Patsy T. Mink Equal Opportunity in
Education Act on October 29, 2002, upon the death of the law's
principal author, Congresswoman Patsy T. Mink. It was also written by
Oregon Congresswoman Edith Green."

Teddy was instrumental in getting it through.

"Teddy"? I don't suppose you have a shrine in your basement?



I don't suppose you're ignorant of what he actually did with his life.
What
did you do that even comes close?


I don't recall havng criticized the man anywhere in these threads.
But, I'm not given to idol worship either.



I'll take you at your word, but you also attempted to go after me with some
ideological label re the "shrine" comment. That's better left to shrill and
timid people.
