Critics of the ACLU’s position leaped to the defense of single-sex education. Christina Hoff Sommers, Resident Scholar at the American Enterprise Institute and author of “The War Against Boys: How Misguided Feminism Is Harming Our Young Men,” denounced the report in an interview with the Daily Caller News Foundation.

“I think it’s seriously misguided,” said Sommers. “What the ACLU’s doing is foreclosing on possibilities for programs that will help children — especially boys — who are languishing in school … the ACLU may not like it, but boys and girls are different.”

Sommers acknowledged that single-sex education should be voluntary and tied this support for freedom of choice into her critique of the ACLU’s report, saying, “It’s ridiculous that we would give parents fewer choices than more … I find it very odd that a group with ‘liberty’ in its name is marching against a parent’s right to choose.”'
