Twisting Title IX, by Robert L. Shibley, describes how Title IX, a 1972 law intended to ban sex discrimination in education, morphed into a monster-storm of regulations and guidelines that have chilled free speech on campuses across the nation. The importance of the information that this book coveys cannot be over-stated, because if conditions are left unchecked,a blizzard of special snowflakes will inundate our schools.
Shibley, the executive director of the Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE), has over 13 years of experience aiding students and faculty members at hundreds of institutions contend with slew of unintended Title IX consequences. His book begins with a brief history of how Title IX originated, why the focus changed from sports teams to sexual behavior, and describes the disturbing consequences of the implementation of vague and politically correct guidelines.
