No it will violate the United States Constitution and Civil Rights thats a big no no.You can separate race and gender.And I think what they are doing is illegal and out of bounds this not 1955 its 2006.

if you want to put religious texts in schools you better make readily available all religious texts from all faiths and walks of life as to not discriminate.  I think if the school has the funds and means to keep a large section like that more power to them because its good for children to have access to material like this to better educate themselves.  If they had it then they could learn of other religions and cultures.  Ignorance is not bliss.  So if they had the means to educate themselves it would be all the better for every one.

In my opinion, no. How would that effect the child is the first concern. When the child is small wouldn't be the issue, but as he/she entered school it would most defiantly get ridiculed by the other kids and have emotional stress/problems from this. This would really confuse the kid! I don't care what anyone says, a child needs a MOTHER and a FATHER. Not two women, and not two men.

Im fairly old fashioned....but I believe the schools have no reason to teach children about sex.  I believe sex education should be between a man and his wife.

I'm not sure exactly what you mean ... But I'll give you what I think you mean ...\n\nIt is popular among educators to talk about single-gender classrooms. There are some that believe that if boys and girls take separate classes, they can learn more. So, they study the same subjects, but just from different teachers or at different times. All the boys in one class, the girls in another.

It is unnatural to keep boys and girls seperate.  They will end up lacking certain social skills

Personally, I think it's a very strange statement.  Both sexes have had enormous impact on humanity down through history.  We can learn much from both men and women.

Okay, as far as each group being able to have its own board members, okay.\n\nIt's better than bussing children miles away to school, when there is one down the block from them.\n\nIt would be a good idea if there is a lot of racially motivated fights in a particular school.\n\nBUT--isn't this taking a step backward?  Isn't it telling our children that they are all "different," instead of instilling the information that "we are all the same?"\n\nCould it make racial relations in the future even worse?\n\nThere's a lot to think about here.  The most important being our children and our world.

I'm a woman, and I'm kind of against affirmative action.  I think that a person should be hired based on merit, not his or her race or gender.  I really wouldn't like working at a job where I was hired mainly because I am a woman, and the company doesn't want to appear sexist.

Your question is not comprehensive.  It requires circumstantial explanation.  Whether a teacher is a male or a female says that the student, whether a male or a female, would be kicked out of the class without any reason, the teacher is guilty.  But no teacher would ask the student to go out of the class unless there is sufficient reason.  The student might have caused the teacher to reach that kind of emotional upsurge which is not uncommon nowadays.  However both should forget that unpleasant situation and see that teaching and learning process are not affected.

My oldest daughter made A+'s all through elementry school.  Then she discovered boys.  Boys, whether smart or dumb, tend to be very competitive and they have trouble competing with a very intelligent girl.  If the boys can't "outsmart" they switch to cruel put downs and name calling.  \n\nMy daughter quickly figured out by dumbing herself down, the boys liked her and she wanted a boy friend.  Her grades fell and she became an average student.  Average students don't get the great educational scholarships.\n\nSame sex schools are starting to become popular and recent court rulings are allowing public schools to have same sex magnet schools.  This removes the need for gender based competition.  Girls can be a smart as they want and still socialize with boys outside the classroom.  Boys don't feel threatened by the intelligence of the girl and the girl doesn't "dumb down" to the boy friends level.

I'm sure there are many reasons for gender-limited institutions and policies. I'm not entirely sure what you mean by position and valence issues. unless you are talking about government-sponsored programs like health research, job placement, or educational opportunities, then I don't know what it would have to do with attracting voters.

First i would like to say that education sould not have differential goals.Why education should solely lead towards a good man not a big man.If this purpose is not based to the education, the institutional objectives should be set by teacher from time to time.

For a long time it was the other way.  Boys were thought to be smarter.  Better at math and science, etc.  So now a swing has happened to try to catch the girls up.  And like most politically based swings, they overswung.  It will balance out.   Overviews of education never present a completely accurate picture.

When boy/girl or man/women are in classes together there could be less attention to the books! As opposed to male/female classes there is more attention to details of study!\n\nSuggest putting words relating to your question at "google" and there you will get 1000,s of answers, to narrow down to exactly what you need just keep adding or rewording entry...\n\nGood Luck!

I hope you don't mind, I saw your other question and also posted this response, so, this is cross posting with extra added ^_~\n\nYes, the institution of education should include proper information about human bodies, ALL human bodies.  I don't know about lower level education, except in biology, we learn that snails and worms are hermaphrodites, there are over 36,000 sexes of mushrooms..etc but intersexes are not "hermaphrodites" and mushrooms certainly aren't human ^_~ As far as post secondary education, I did attend one Sociology class that talked about intersexes briefly. As for resistance, I am in Student Govt. and recently proposed an event for International Intersex Solidarity Day (nov. th) before the Executive Counsil and was shot down faster than a nuclear missile heading to WA DC. because they didn't know what i was talking about. They suggested i hand it off to the rainbow club. I was livid!\n\nIntersexes are either genital shapes and sizes not congruent with current dominant standards of genital shape and size preferences.\n\nIntersexes are also people whose chromosome patterns might not be xx or xy (such as xxy or xxxy, or xxxo, or xo, or mosaic meaning a mix of chromosome patters across different cells)\n\nIntersexes are also a mix of both of the above two options.\n\nThe thing about labeling someone intersex, is that when people from the medical community are deciding whether or not to label someone intersex, they often fluctuate as there is not set standard of criterion across the board.\n\nSome use size standards, such as a phallus that is larger than .9cm is too large for a female, therefore if the doctor feels that the [infant] should have been female according to the doctors preferences looking at genitals and /or chromosomes etc the doctor might trim the phallus or remove it (social construction of the female sex)\n\nAnd if the phallus is smaller than 2.5cm and/or the doctor feels that the [infant] would be unable to stand while urinating as an adult, on an [infant] the doctor feels should have been male according to the doctors preferences looking at genitals and/or chromosomes etc, the doctor might choose to do genital reconstructions and possibly hormone replacement therapy to construct the [infant] as a female regardless of chromosomes etc.\n\nSex is on a spectrum, you see, where the categories of male and female are not static, meaning, not absolute categories, but rather made up of cultural preferences, they are invented labels put on varrying places on the sex spectrum in order to validate a cultures claims of categories of sex, to perpetuate the segregation of human beings.\n\nIntersexes are often marginalized or stigmatized by societies in order to preserve the western binary gender and sex systems which declare that there are only two sexes, and only two corresponding genders, that both are biological, and that the placement of certain sex and gender labels on human bodies mean something, signify something, often socially and religeously. For this reason, many intersexes are subjected to cosmetic surgery, isolation, shame, discrimination, invalidation, and less access to vital medical care and information about their bodies. And often when they are given medical care or information, it is in such a way that highlights cultural preferences/standards for "male" and "female" and downplays the validity of a natural human body which does not conform to these cultural preferences.
