This is going way off topic but somewhat related....

what about colleges that are co-ed but have single sex dormatories, I know in the school that I attended it was very common for the homosexual couples to co-habitate in the same sex dormatories whereas co-habitation of hetero couples was forbidden...almost seems like a double standard no?

wouldn't this be an example of bias towards homosexual couples? and if so should amends be made in favor of hetero couples on many college campuses? :)

You claim that you think logically. You have obviously fooled many people in the past with that claim.

Conjur,

Safe to assume you?re against school vouchers?

Yes, I am against them. If a school has problems, spending money to allow *some* children to go to another school does not fix the problem. It merely brushes it aside.

While some critics say they worry that splitting the sexes will hurt girls trying to achieve academic equality

OMG thats an idiotic statement, recent studies show, that girls get better education and have better academic enviorments than their male counterparts.

Its funny people are saying this threatens title ix. My god, the pendulum has swung so far in the favor of females in school its not even funny. They have over compensated and are leaving boys behind.

and in countries where boys and girls don't interact at a young age, during essential times of growth and understanding, the men end up treating the women like sh!t. so what's your point?

It's single sex education, not monastic living. It is idiotic arguments like that which only serve to confuse the discussion because the problem for the anti-single sex crowd is that the weight of studies favor the educational environments in a single sex setting.

Newsflash: Men and women are different, and educating them in different ways works.

Why don't you ever hear these people wanting to break up wellsley and other female schools, who turn out fine young women BTW?

Wrong! problem now is Boys don't grow up to be men but stay boys in our current no demands/lawless/social enterprise system. Seen the divorce rate in this country?
