Apples and oranges. That is not the argument here. I'm not making the point that there are not valid reasons for all-male and all-female schools. I'm just pointing out that these girls at these schools are, in all probability, liberal. I don't care what the political affliation of the girls is. They enrolled at Wells College under the assumption they would receive an education in a single-sex environment. It is a shame that it might not come to pass. They are right to sue.

I don't know what damages they could show, especially if the college only allows freshmen males the first year, and then sophomores the next year and so on. The girls in the school already will probably have few or no male classmates, since those would have to be transfers, or they'd have to take a class with underclassmen.

Again you miss the point. If you read the article you'd see that any body already admitted would graduate before they let in boys. Also I'm not talking about their political affiliation just for the heck of it. Give you one guess what they would think of an all-male school doing this? Well, maybe they've changed their mind now. Ever heard "do as I say, not as I do." Ever heard that "this is OK because we can't be racist."

Waaah, maybe the guys at VMI thought they were going to get an education in a single-sex enviroment too.

The men who went to VMI and the Citadel were under the same assumption. Yet women were allowed at those institutions.
Why should it be any different for these women.
