I'm pretty sure that Title IX states that not allowing girls to be in the batterie is unconstitutional...

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.

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.).

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.

A Texas line that we have good relations with has had a tradition of all GIRL cymbal line for several years now. called "the cymbal chicks" they aren't discriminate towards guys, they have just had the coincidence of taking all girls each year.

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.

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.
