Paragiggle Registered: 09/20/04	Quote: I'm pretty sure that Title IX states that not allowing girls to be in the batterie is unconstitutional... Kristina No, I don't think so. It's probably along the lines of their tradition, like the Cavaliers. But that's just what I think. I'm not so sure. Someone feel free to correct me on the matter. I'd like to be enlightened. _________________________ We don't play at football games. We graciously allow the football team to play during our outdoor concerts.

Divalish Registered: 04/16/03 Loc: Pittsburgh, PA	Title IX So, basically, if your school/school district receives ANY type of federal money, it legally can not deny someone a spot on the battery if the decision is based solely on gender. If it's a private organization with no funding from the government, then they can show gender bias. All of the exceptions are listed on that site (i.e. Girl Scouts/Boy Scouts, sororities, fraternities, etc.). _________________________ ~patty Crossmen '02-'03 & a whole bunch of WGI

Thrawn Registered: 01/31/02 Loc: PA, USA	Why wouldn't girls be allowed on the drumline? That's not just sexist, it's plain stupid. I've seen/heard of plenty of girls who can play better than me/various other guys I know. By denying girls the opportunity to play simply because they're female, one is probably hurting the line, depriving it of some talent. Sigh. _________________________ PSU Blue Band Snare 03-current

LeftyBassDrummer Registered: 10/12/04 Loc: White Hall, Arkansas	Most girls I know are better than guys who've been playing for a similar amount of time. I'm glad my school doesn't have that policy. _________________________ "To tar the sacrifices of the confederate soldier as simple acts of racism, and reduce the battle flag under which he fought to nothing more than a symbol of a racist heritage, is one of the great blasphemies of our modern age." -James Webb, former U.S. Secretary of the Navy. I agree with all my heart and will defend this flag until my last breath so help me God. Punish me as you will, this is a stand I must take.

heavy08 blanks Registered: 01/20/05 Loc: Wesson, Mississippi	We have a girl in our drumline. I'm not saying it's bad to have girls in a drumline it's just that this particular girl is whiny and starts a lot of drama. _________________________ 03-04 Snare WHS Drumline 04-05 Snare WHS Drumline 05-06 Lead Snare and Co-Captain WHS Drumline
