Abstract
Title IX is a crucial, and controversial, piece of federal legislation in the United States. Its purpose was to end sex discrimination, that dereliction from ideals of justice, in education. This essay is a history of Title IX from its beginning to today. It shows the necessity of Title IX, how sexual harassment came under the purview of Title IX, how legal interpretations of Title IX changed, and how different presidents administered it. Two thousand sixteen, when Donald Trump was elected president, is a key year. The Trump administration was more indifferent to trans people and more deferential to people accused of discrimination and harassment. This history shows that people opposed to discrimination, like feminists, cannot rely on the law alone. Too often the law is unstable. We need a new code of ethics, rooted in feminist principles, the “New Decorum.”
