Any woman that thinks a girl can be better educated in a single-sex class is both retarded and ignorant. There is nothing to be gained by separating boys from girls in education because our society isn't structured like that. Teaching ignorance by imposing boundaries between the genders only ensures a future society of dysfunctional couples. I mean ffs, we're already at the point where family-oriented groups are lamenting the lack of permanence in couples, married or not.

There is no good reason whatsoever to put further barriers in social education, unless your goal is to enforce some morality code. I suppose it's one way to beat teen pregnancy, by keeping them apart. But there's been no hard proof that women or men learn better when they're segregated. Further, wasn't the concept of "separate but equal" something we tossed out of our government years ago?

The fact that the government is willing to provide its seal of approval for single-sex classes and schools (while fighting single-sex marriages tooth and nail) is yet another stunning reversal of advances against discrimination. What's next, women at the back of the bus? Excluding women from education? Preventing them from holding jobs? All covering burkahs?

It's amusing in a black-humor kind of way that Bush is anti-Islam. I mean he holds the same principles of religious autocracy, perhaps that's why he had to start a war. Jealousy can be an ugly thing....
