Gender equity means an equal chance at learning for females and males, with open options to learn subjects and prepare for future education, jobs, and careers without expectations based on gender. Equal encouragement for both genders to develop, achieve, and learn is essential to equitable treatment of female and male students. The Federal Education Act, including the Title IX amendment, became law in 1972. In part, the amendment stated that, "No person in the US shall on the basis of sex, be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or be subjected to discrimination under any education program or activity receiving Federal financial assistance". All US school districts were given until 1975 to make sure males and females received equal educational participation and benefits. It has been females who historically, were denied equal participation and benefits, but some males receive limited rights as well. This site is dedicated to the achievement of full equality for all.
