Title IX is not just for sports anymore
Some in academia want to correct the lack of women graduates in math, science and engineering with a liberal dose of stupidity. I did learn that Title IX states:
No person in the United States shall, on the basis of sex...be denied the benefits of...any education program or activity receiving federal financial assistance.This is fine, but it has usually meant not equality of opportunity, but equality of outcome. This won't end well for education in the US. Guess my kids better start learning Chinese to get a decent science education.

Excellent submarine nickname
Apparently the HMAS Rankin is also know as "The Black Knight." Very appropriate, and much better that "The Fighting Conch" - bonus points for whoever can name that USN submarine.
