Which issue occurred in 1972 prohibiting sexual discrimination?

• A. Individuals with Disabilities Education Act
• B. National standards for Physical Education
• C. Title IX legislation
• D. Center for Disease Control's guidelines

Answer: (C)

Title IX prohibits sex discrimination in federally funded education programs and activities and was enacted in 1972 as part of the Education Amendments of 1972. This law means schools and colleges that receive federal funds cannot treat students or employees differently because of their sex, which dramatically expanded opportunities for women in sports and physical education by ensuring equal access to programs, facilities, scholarships, and coaching. The 1972 date and the explicit focus on eliminating sexual discrimination make this the correct choice. Other options refer to different initiatives or guidelines that do not address prohibiting sexual discrimination in education in that year—for example, the education rights for students with disabilities came later, and national standards for physical education or CDC guidelines are not about banning sex-based discrimination in education.
