NOW Opposes Michigan Approval of Single-Sex School

Roy writes "In yet another stunning illogical about-face, NOW argues that single-sex schools cannot be allowed. The Michigan Senate has passed a bill to allow single-sex schools, but Kim Gandy proclaims – "We strongly oppose these bills because the separation of boys and girls, and the underlying (and false) assumption that girls and boys are so different that they shouldn't even be educated together, introduces harmful gender stereotypes into public education... Contrary to what supporters are saying, research does not show that gender is an accurate, consistent, or even useful determinant of educational needs." Gosh, did I misinterpret the last twenty years of the "girl’s educational crisis" that was at the forefront of feminism’s protests? And, now that 57% of college students are female, did I miss something else in the alleged "harmful gender stereotypes?" NOW is a priceless exemplar of feminist integrity."
