Critics point to studies that suggest single-gender classrooms can lead to increased gender stereotyping.

If single-gender classrooms really do improve performance you can bet the liberals will work against it. They'll probably use the above claim that splitting up the boys and girls can lead to "increased gender stereotyping" along with calls for "gender diversity" to put a stop to this.

But in the same breath justify the need for a all gay classroom and special programs.

Our middle school tried it, and they found that it didn't make any difference. My daughter's nonscientific observation was that the girls in the same-sex classes were even more boy crazy than the girls in the coed classes.

Gender seperated education has always out performed coed education, particularly for girls. This has been known for well over a hundred years.

Many liberal politicos are sending their kids to gender separate schools... So are conseratives. Parents KNOW what is right for their own children.. Shame on those who would apply a double standard to the offspring of the masses!
