Whistleblowing a key to enforcing Title IX

In 1999, Roderick Jackson, a high school girls' basketball coach from Birmingham, Ala., spoke up for his team and lost his job. This week, the United States Supreme Court ruled that Jackson had a right to call a foul when he complained about the inferior playing conditions his team faced compared with the boys' team at the high school.

In a 5-4 ruling, the court ruled Tuesday that the 1972 federal law banning sex discrimination in schools and colleges, known as Title IX, also prohibits school officials from retaliating against those who bring sex-discrimination complaints.


Jackson deserves a huge cheer at the NCCA women's basketball tournament for taking his case to the Supreme Court.

Ironic that this comes down now that Title IX is under fire by dipshit Bush. Good for Jackson - the man deserves a reward. Freakin awesome. Thanks for posting this.
