In addition to mourning the loss of all human life in this unlawful war these students wanted to address an atta...

NOW and Single-Sex Education Thursday, September 13, 2007 : NOW opposes the segregation of girls and boys into single-sex schools or classrooms. Although research does not show that gender is an accurate, consistent, or even useful determinant of educational needs, segregated schools and classrooms are gaining popularity.
