"PART B—WOMEN'S EDUCATIONAL EQUITY
"SEC. 5201. SHORT TITLE; FINDINGS.
"(a) SHORT TITLE. —This part may be cited as the Women's
Educational Equity Act of 1994'.
"(b) FINDINGS.— The Congress finds that—
"(1) since the enactment of title DC of the Education Amendments of 1972, women and girls have made strides in educational achievement and in their ability to avail themselves
of educational opportunities;
"(2) because of funding provided under the Women's Educational Equity Act, more curricula, training, and other educational materials concerning educational equity for women
and girls are available for national dissemination;
"(3) teaching and learning practices in the United States
are frequently inequitable as such practices relate to women
and girls, for example—
"(A) sexual harassment, particularly that experienced
by girls, undermines the ability of schools to provide a
safe and equitable learning or workplace environment;
"(B) classroom textbooks and other educational materials do not sufficiently reflect the experiences, achievements, or concerns of women and, in most cases, are not
written by women or persons of color;,
