This book examines the controversial issue, arguing that separate but equal is neither achievable nor constitutional.Will the creation of coed teams help mitigate issues of perceived sex discrimination in sports, or will equity among male and female athletes come from better enforcement of the separate but equal ideal? This book examines this highly charged issue, specifically challenging the effectiveness of \u003ci\u003eTitle IX\u003c\/i\u003e and arguing that it be ousted in favor of sex integration. This is the first book to present both legal and social arguments for the elimination of sex segregation in sports and provide tangible solutions to address this issue. Authors Adrienne N. Milner and Jomills Henry Braddock II lay out the potential benefits of comingling male and female athletes, illustrating how this process may translate to greater sex equality in social, economic, and political contexts.

This book is effective in its ability to show how segregation was approached earlier in history and the overall significance of sports in individual and societal development. . . . This book does more than highlight the importance of that area of research. It also offers a detailed plan of implementation and addresses, with confidence, how to apply and evaluate the progress. Overall, it makes a compelling case for the conclusion that the integration of sports would not only benefit men and women but also adolescents as children learn traditional sex constructs that are reinforced through adolescence and adulthood through sports. * Journal of Youth and Adolescence *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eFigures\u003c\/i\u003e \u003cb\u003eChapter One\u003c\/b\u003e Introduction: Is Separate Equal in Sports? \u003cb\u003eChapter Two\u003c\/b\u003e Title IX: History, Results, and Controversies of \"Separate but Equal\" \u003cb\u003eChapter Three\u003c\/b\u003e Title IX and \u003ci\u003eBrown v.
