ACLU Strikes Again
This was started by one idiot parent who could care less about her or any other kid at the school. Southside Jr. High in Denham Springs is one of the best middle schools in the state. Separating the boys from the girls has worked in other schools locally. Zachary and Ascension parish schools both have done it.
Single Sex School in Louisiana Denies Girls and Boys Same Educational Opportunities
ACLU Seeks to Ensure Equal Access to Learning
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE:
July 31, 2006
NEW ORLEANS -- The American Civil Liberties Union today released a demand letter sent last week to Southside Junior High School officials in the Livingston Parish School District. The letter called for the immediate stop to plans to segregate students on the basis of sex in the coming school year.
"Sex discrimination belongs on the trash heap, not in the classroom," said Joe Cook, Executive Director of the ACLU of Louisiana. "Equal educational opportunity under the law doesn't mean girls count flower petals, while boys learn about heroic behavior and what it means to be a man."

Mandatory single-sex education has long been decried as creating a divisive system with the potential to harm both boys and girls. The educational theories that promote such a split are too often based on faulty research and radically inaccurate gender stereotypes. Yet despite such programs being declared unlawful, Southside Junior High School has decided to pursue such a course of action. According to the ACLU, the end result is that children of both sexes will be harmed.

Awwwwwwww Roux, that little girl just wanted to meet boys.....perhaps. At the risk of sounding cruel (not crude, I admit to that), I saw her on TV. She will need more then the Joe Cook mob for that to happen.
And I am so glad you suck at weather forecasting!!!!!!!!!! (You're suppose to laugh at that.)
