One of the Assistant Attorney Generals in the state of Washington just
sent me some information on single sex offerings. In the May,1996 issue
of the "United States Code Service", Lawyers' Edition, Cumulative
Supplement, 20 USCS, Education, Equal Opportunities 20 USCS 2107,

"EQUAL EDUCATIONAL OPPORTUNITIES

UNLAWFUL PRACTICES

1703. Denial of equal educational opportunity prohibited

RESEARCH GUIDE
Am Jur:
68 Am Jur 2d, Schools 9.

INTERPRETIVE NOTES AND DECISIONS
1. Generally
City school board's pilot program establishing 3 male-only academies
for preshcool through 5th-grade boys will be enjoined preliminarily, even
though court acknowledges status of urban males as "endangered species"
due to high unemployment, dropout and homicide rates and appreciates
experimental attempts to meet their needs, because that noble purpose is
insufficient to override rights of females to equal opportunities under
Title IX (20 USCS 1681 et seq.) and 20 USCS 1703. Garrett v Board of
Educ. of School Dist. (1991, ED Mich) 775 F Supp 1004."
