June 23, 1972: Title IX is Signed into Law

On this day in 1972, President Richard Nixon signed Title IX of the Education Amendments into law. Title IX protects people from discrimination based on sex in all education programs or activities which receive federal funding. One of the most notable impacts of Title IX is the implementation of women sports in schools. As a result, there are more women participating in sports than ever before.

In 2002, Title IX was renamed the Patsy Takemoto Mink Equal Opportunity in Education Act, after its co-author, Representative Patsy Mink of Hawaii.

“If Veronica would have chosen Piz over Logan she would have been settled. She says at the beginning of the movie that she loved Piz because of his lack of drama, but Logan made her the happiest. Spanning years and continents, lives ruined, bloodshed, the whole thing. LoVe was made for each other.”

“I wish I knew how to manage the hours in my day like Veronica.”

Me, too.🌻

Day 28. So excited for my new Polar Ft4

27 is done. 65 minutes of cardio.

Day 26. 65 minutes of cardio. Worked up a fantastic sweat💜

On the 25th I did sprints and weights. My husband thrashed his iPod 😰 on the treadmill next to me. We are planning a memorial service [sic] 💚 one pound at a time right now is a frustrating concept. My goal was to lose 20lbs in January…my guess is I will fall short by 5🐾head up. Keep Moving Forward.
