“We’d be teaching kids that stereotypes would be permissible, like parental beliefs that girls are less interested in math and science,” she said.
If I ever had a male child, you bet I would want to place them in a male-only school. But the people quoted in the article still only argue about what would benefit their daughters only.

Ya gotta love this :
“Single-sex education basically says we will separate, but everyone will have an equal education,” said Nancy Zirkin, deputy director of the Leadership Conference on Civil Rights (search), a coalition of 180 civil rights organizations. “We know that in the context of race that is unacceptable, and we don’t know how in the context of gender it can be acceptable.”
“It would turn back the clock to a time when girls were excluded from athletics and various levels of advanced education — when girls were not expected to rise to the level or complete the task,” said Jocelyn Samuels, vice president of the National Women’s Law Center (search), who added that separating boys and girls will revive old stereotypes and undermine efforts to teach tolerance and understanding.
These feminists are so used to putting out BS they don't seem to realize there are men like us who know the facts.
Anyone here ever heard of the "Seven Sisters". Its a group of colleges originally founded to be the Ivy League for women back when the Ivy League didn't accept women. But now women do go to Ivy League colleges. And guess what? No Feminazi calls for these bastions of Rad-Feminism to tow the line of Title IX. Nope. Not a word on the Seven Sister colleges (Wellesley, Smith ... etc).
Sure, there are men who attend (about 10 at Wellesley). But I don't have to wonder if an elite college had 10 women students and the rest were male how the feminazis would react.
I may be cynical, but I doubt it, but I think what these women really fear is that boys in a boy-tailored curriculum will flourish and that will blow their Ritalin infested "boys are bad" stereotypes to hell and begone.

WHAM!!!!
Steven, LOVE that post!
You're exactly right!
The feminists beleive that 'all girls school'=fair. But 'all boys school'=sexism.
My God, what HYPOCRITS, the feminist are!
I'm with you, the feminists don't want all BOYS SCHOOLS for fear of the boys doing well.
After all we can't erect a Gynarchy if the male population is as well educated as the female population.
This IS what the feminists want, folks. They WANT boys to get infiriour educations!
By the way.
Do a GOOGLE search of the word "GYNARCHY" and see what you find. I think what you find will be rather... Interesting...,
Thundercloud.
"Hoka hey!"

I'm not old enough to enter www.gynarchy.org - the tragedy is overwhelming, man, I think I'm even tearing up a little. Oh, if only I were old enough to be convinced of female superiority! Guess I'm stuck being rational for the next couple of years.

but if you read the article carefully, unfortunately I think this will have to go into the minus column in a big way.
As part of "No Child Left Behind" educational reforms enacted in 2002, the Bush administration was permitted to take a look at Title IX stipulations and perhaps relax them to allow school districts to open single-gender schools without being forced to open a mirror school for the opposite gender. The new rule, which is expected to go into effect after a 45-day public comment period on the proposal, states that districts only have to ensure that the same educational opportunities exist for the other gender, and that they can be offered in a nearby co-ed school.
As far as same-sex classes within a co-ed school are concerned, according to the new rule, the district will still have to justify the need, and offer equal opportunities for both genders, but the requirements are more relaxed under the administration’s proposal.
So what this means is, "separate but equal" education for boys, with only girls getting to choose whether they want single-sex or coed.
And of course the only really important thing is what's best for girls - and screw the parents.
“We’d be teaching kids that stereotypes would be permissible, like parental beliefs that girls are less interested in math and science"
First of all, it's not a stereotype, it's a fact that girls are less interested in math and science. But who the **** is she to be determining what parental beliefs are "permissible" or not?

There already is a viable model for K-12 single-sex education schools, and it exists in the American Muslim community.
I have a female Muslim friend who's son is enrolled in such a school, and the atmosphere is highly academic (as well as teaching cultural subjects); as well, the kids are in school to learn, instead of being there to flirt, fight, or be otherwise distracted by boy-girl diversions.
The Muslim school communities have a higher proportion of male teachers than mainstream U.S. public education, so boys are exposed to male adult role models, and, the men teachers help ensure that boys are not intentionally underdeveloped in a feminized all-women-teachers environment.
Muslim schools boast academic results for their students and college completion rates that generally surpass public co-ed schools.
Perhaps the American Muslim example could be translated to U.S. secular school systems, thus created a pro-boy, non-feminist learning climate.
Of course, U.S. feminists would screech "discrimination!" were this kind of experiment to catch on....
