Title IX is a crucial, and controversial, piece of federal legislation in the United States. Its purpose was to end sex discrimination, that dereliction from ideals of justice, in education. This essay is a history of Title IX from its beginning to today. It shows the necessity of Title IX, how sexual harassment came under the purview of Title IX, how legal interpretations of Title IX changed, and how different presidents administered it. Two thousand sixteen, when Donald Trump was elected president, is a key year. The Trump administration was more indifferent to trans people and more deferential to people accused of discrimination and harassment. This history shows that people opposed to discrimination, like feminists, cannot rely on the law alone. Too often the law is unstable. We need a new code of ethics, rooted in feminist principles, the “New Decorum.”

渎职、正当程序和礼仪：第九条的危机

第九条是美国一项重要且有争议的联邦立法。其目的是结束教育中的性别歧视，即对正义理想的背叛。这篇文章是第九条从开始到今天的历史。它显示了 Title IX 的必要性，性骚扰如何归入 Title IX 的范围，对 Title IX 的法律解释如何改变，以及不同的总统如何管理它。Two thousand sixteen, when Donald Trump was elected president, is a key year. 特朗普政府对跨性别者更加冷漠，对被指控歧视和骚扰的人更加恭顺。这段历史表明，反对歧视的人，就像女权主义者一样，不能只依靠法律。很多时候，法律是不稳定的。我们需要一个新的道德准则，根植于女权主义原则，
