Presented by ACLU of Washington Sports Equity Advocate Linda Mangel, whose experience includes several years as an attorney for the U.S. Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights. In 1972, Congress enacted the landmark law known as Title IX that has had a major impact in ensuring equal access for female athletes in public schools. Title IX bans discrimination based on sex in any education program or activity receiving federal money. As a result of this law, the past three decades have seen an upsurge in opportunities for female athletes. The number of girls participating in high school sports has increased tenfold, from less than 300,000 to almost three million. Despite this significant progress, inequities still exist. The ACLU of Washington and the Women's Sports Foundation partnered to ensure that the historic Title IX law's promise of equality is fulfilled. 5:00 – 6:00 pm Bar Method Workout A mixture of Pilates, yoga and ballet, the Bar Method workout combines isometrics, dance conditioning, physical therapy, and interval training.
