**this is only my first 2 paragraphs because i wasnt sure if i should continue because i wasnt sure of what direction i should go in with this.
**mrs muldoon, i emailed you about this.
“The one constant through all the years has been baseball. America has rolled by like an army of steamrollers. It's been erased like a blackboard, rebuilt, and erased again. But baseball has marked the time. This field, this game, is a part of our past. It reminds us of all that once was good, and what could be again." Baseball is America’s past time. And aren’t women a part of America? Depriving anyone of the right to play a countrywide is downright wrong. You very rarely see girls in baseball uniforms. Is it because they don’t want to? Or is it because they aren’t allowed to? There are plenty of girls across the states that would love to play baseball. However, they are not being given the opportunity. You may not hear about them everyday, but there are girls that want the chance and are not stopping until they are heard and in uniform.
Many girls want the chance to play a sport in high school that they fell in love with at young age. In some cases, girls are deprived of that chance but you don’t always hear about it. Girls like Logan Young of Indiana made sure everyone heard her story. Logan has been playing baseball for nine years. Now she is a freshman in high school and wants to continue. The Indiana High School Athletic Association prohibits her from playing because her school offers softball. Logan, her mother, and her attorneys are suing the IHSAA for violation of Title IX. The rule that prohibits Logan Young from playing violates the Equal Protection Clause of the U.S. Constitution, Title IX of the Education Amendments of 1972. The IHSAA will not change the rule or permit girls to try out for baseball unless each girl who wants to try out proves through an administrative hearing that excluding her from the sport would cause hardship and pain due to the fact that she has been detected to a specific sport and is now being denied the opportunity to participate.
