Nancy Armour Accuses Heritage Foundation of Targeting Title IX After 1972 Law Critique

Summary
Nancy Armour said the Heritage Foundation is "coming for" Title IX, arguing its recent report signals a push to strip protections from women’s sports and roll back women’s rights.
The report, released earlier in July, says Title IX has drifted from the 1972 anti-discrimination law into a system of proportionality mandates that distorts women’s sports and harms men’s non-revenue programs.
Scott Yenor, the report’s author, did not call for ending Title IX; he argued for reforms that emphasize opportunity over identical outcomes and give more weight to female-centric sports such as gymnastics, volleyball and cheerleading.
Armour tied the report to broader conservative efforts including Project 2025 and said battles over transgender athletes are now expanding into a wider fight over femininity and women’s roles.
The column landed days after Armour apologized for an "inartful comparison" linking Caitlin Clark criticism to Emmett Till, adding to scrutiny around her latest intervention.
