Title IX

Even though I am a woman, I am very against Title IX. I read an article in a magazine before that Title IX is actually hurting women trying to get into college rather than helping them. The article said that there were more women applying to colleges that were more qualified (higher GPA, harder classes, more well rounded, extra curriculars, etc.) but were being beat by men that were less qualified because of the percentages of men and women needed at schools. I do not think it is fair for someone to be chosen over someone else because of their sex or race. Whoever is more qualified should be chosen because they will do better at school, instead of someone who is less qualified that will struggle more and possibly drop out. In the work world I think it is also stupid to require so many people of a certain sex or race. If I needed a life or death surgery I would pick the doctor based on qualifications, not if they were a boy or girl or black or white. Sex or race makes no difference in someone's ability.
