My daughter is 17 and rides bulls on the APRA and with other local rodeo associations here in Pa. We have petitioned the High School Rodeo to allow her to ride there, but because they are not associated with High school, they are not covered under Title IX. At least, we don't think so. We are required to have passing grades and we are required to get a signature from our principle to allow kids to ride in High School Rodeo, but both the High School and Little Britches rodeo associations are refusing to allow girls to ride. Next Sept. my daughter will be 18 and plans to get her PRCA and her PBR challenger card in Jan. of 2009. I don't understand why they would not want to give girls the same opportunities as boys. I feel its a great discrimination case, but unfortunately we can't afford to finance a lawyer to take the case. My daughter wants to ride bulls in College and Title Ix will give her that chance, but High school rodeo doesn't seem to care. Any help would be appreciated.
