Give women a chance, and they'll take the gold

What an amazing performance by America's Olympians!  The 2012 Olympics will be most remembered for the performance of America's female athletes.  Of the 46 gold medal winners from the United States, 29 of them were women.  Only two countries won as many gold medals as the women of the United States.

How wonderful that this tremendous success occurred on the 40th anniversary of Title IX.  The purpose of the 1972 federal law sponsored by Indiana Senator Birch Bayh was simple - Title IX bans sex discrimination of both men and women in programs receiving federal financial assistance.
