And again, maybe I would be more sympathetic if the original Title IX included harsh penalties for false accusations to deter them.
The original Title IX didn’t say anything about accusations of sexual assault, at all. It literally just sad that federally funded educational programs could not discriminate with respect to sex. The interpretation that that included sports programs or similar extracurriculars came later, the interpretation that that requires a parallel court-like system for adjudicating sexual assault allegations by students under a looser standard than actual courts came even later.
