I took a quick walk around the pond early this evening and the reflection of the clouds in the water was just magical. There was a lot of activity in the park, the best of which were the soccer practices. There must have been 3 different teams of girls soccer practicing, all about age 5 or 6. I have never seen so much pink on the soccer field....Thank you Title Nine.

Title IX was signed into law in 1972 by President Richard Nixon. "Title IX prohibited sex discrimination in any federally funded education activity or program. This applied to all schools, from elementary to universities, both public and private. Although the original language doesn't mention sports, the biggest change came for female athletes in high school and college, whose opportunities had up until that point had been very limited." When I was in school there were no sports for girls. Those little girls with their pink shirts and shin guards can happily take it all for granted.
