[Magdalen] BSA

[Jay Weigel]

I don't think everything in the world has to be co-ed. There are both boys
and girls (and men and women, I'm sure also) who would prefer to be in
single-sex groups at least some of the time. There are studies that show
that girls who are educated in all-girl high schools, for instance, are
likely to have more self-confidence and be higher achievers, and also
studies that show benefits to separating boys and girls for instruction in
middle school years, when hormones make for a lot of distraction. But the
minute anything like that is suggested, the "equality" freaks bust a blood
vessel.

By the way, the GSA have been ahead of the curve in a lot of ways and are
not doing such "girly" activities as you may imagine.
