["Separate is inherently unequal." Brown v. Board of Education of
Topeka, Kansas.]

Please think it all the way through, considering what separate
facilities do to groups within a society--black/white, Aryan/Jew,
Muslim/Christian, Hutu/Tutsi, etc. etc. And then fight against this
attempt to sneak a major apartheid wedge into Title IX during the summer
months when educators are on vacation, and are not organized at the
point of production.

Bush Plan Would Give Boost to Same-Sex Education - Reuters
The Bush administration is moving to provide local educators with more
freedom to establish single-sex classes in U.S. public schools with plans
to
amend a 1972 law targeting gender bias in education. The Education
Department on

Wednesday announced its intention to propose changes to the Title IX
statutes that ban sex discrimination in federally funded education programs
and
activities as part of a plan to broaden public school choice.
