Administration Proposes Same-Sex-School Option
By DIANA JEAN SCHEMO
WASHINGTON, March 3 — The Bush administration has proposed regulations giving public school districts new freedom to create same-sex classes and schools, as long as "substantially equal" opportunities are also provided for the excluded sex.
Supporters and critics alike said the proposed changes represented a major reinterpretation of antidiscrimination laws, some 50 years after the Supreme Court discredited racial segregation in "separate but equal" schools as inherently unequal, and 30 years after Title IX extended the concept to sex.
Under the new rules, educators could create new schools or classes exclusively for students of one sex, and no longer have to demonstrate that they were doing so to remedy past discrimination. In addition, rather than having to ensure that students of the other sex were receiving the same opportunities in a single-sex setting, the new rules would allow them to provide those opportunities in a co-ed setting.
Permit me to suggest that the administration has "same-sex" a bit too much on the brain. this is just ridiculous. Bush better start getting ready for some gay proms, too, while he's at it.
