I Hate The ACLU

Last year an area middle school here in my town decided to try something new. They had read the stories about how it seems that girls get less attention in science and math classes. According to that study boys in those classes got called on more often and seemed to get more one on one attention from the teachers. There is also evidence to suggest that girls, overall, do better in an all girl class and that boys, overall, do better in boy only classes. So they instituted boy only and girl only math and science classes. Aside from all the evidence, I think it was a good idea because I remember my middle school experience. I can remember day dreaming an entire class away looking at the back of a boys head. And I can remember boys disrupting classes while trying to impress certain girls. I also remember some girls wanting to appear less smart than some boys thinking that boys liked to be the smartest.

Well, they changed the classes. Low and behold, everyone did better. The boy's grades and behavior and grades improved, as did the girl's. It didn't cost anymore to do it this way. It is a win/win situation. So everybody's happy, right? Wrong! In came the ACLU. They said this was violating civil rights and couldn't be done. So they sued our school system. So now next year the classes have to be combined again. It doesn't matter that only good came from this situation. It doesn't matter that children were learning more. It doesn't matter that teachers, and parent were all pleased. All that matters is that some ACLU lawyer got it into his pinhead that someone's civil rights were violated! I HATE THE ACLU!!!
