this gives like a full biography of her it's perfect

Wiki: six months in a convent:

"Rebecca Reed was a young Episcopalian woman from Boston who had attended the school operated by the Ursulines in 1831 as a charity scholar: a day student for whom the convent waived tuition fees. In 1832, she declared her intent to enter the Ursuline novitiate, but left the convent after six months as a postulant (originally one who makes a request or demand, hence a candidate).

In the memoir, Reed described the convent as a prison, where young girls were forced into Roman Catholicism, with grotesque punishment for those who refused. This book, along with a growing number of propaganda magazines including the Christian Watchman and Boston Recorder, stoked the fires of anti-Catholicism in Boston and the surrounding area."

Article Evaluation - Civil Rights Act of 1964
Notes:

For the most part, this article seems thoroughly written

Information definitely presented in an unbiased way

what a great act

The different Titles of the act are explained with huge variation in length between them

but some are more complicated/controversial and have more complicated implications, so the length variation is appropriate

The end of the TITLE NINE description (the part starting with "In October 2017...") uses buzzfeed news as its source, which is definitely not the most scholarly or reliable source of information. I could evaluate the source and give the CRAAP test to check, but the article we did a reading prep on this week from the NY Times talks about the same issue, and I gave it a CRAAP score of 13. So, that section could be sourced from the NY Times instead.

I also think the very end of the title nine description quotes Sharon McGowan for a little too long, it feels biased to me that she opposes this issue and is being given so much space and detail. But, that also might come from me personally siding with her and already feeling biased toward her argument.

Other than that, a first look at the article makes it seem like everything checks out, though I'm sure plenty could be added.
