Review
"[I]t is refreshing to find a volume that delivers more than it promises. Jessica Gavora's Tilting the Playing Field ... does so in a way that will prove enlightening to the general reader and indispensable for the public-policy specialist."
Synopsis
When it passed Title IX of the Civil Rights Act in 1972, Congress seemed to be doing something laudable and also long overdue - prohibiting discrimination on the basis of sex in America's schools. But thirty years later, a law designed to guarantee equal opportunity has become the most explicit, government-enforced quota regime in America. "Tilting the Playing Field" is a trenchant insider's look at how one law - and its unintended consequences - has affected our view of sports, sex, and schools.
