PHILADELPHIA - Calling all ninth-grade boys! Raise your hand if this school sounds like fun: wearing jackets and ties every day, staying until 5 p.m., learning Latin and â€" to top it all off â€" no girls.

New rules implemented by the U.S. Education Department in 2006 allow same-sex education whenever schools think it will expand the diversity of courses, improve students' achievement or meet their individual needs.

But ACLU attorney Mary Catherine Roper said those regulations conflict with the Constitution and Title IX, a federal law banning sex discrimination in education. There are nonexclusionary ways to improve education, such as decreasing class sizes, she noted.

I went to a all male catholic school in Cincinnati. Wasn't bad. Had a sister school down the street. Plenty of opportunities to meet and date girls without the daily hassle of seeing your girl friend every hour and all of the drama. Could focus on my education. So why is the ACLU so up in arms?
Everyone, what you are missing here is the fact that a all female school can be opened as well. Equal opportunity for a good education. I don't have a problem with this. But obviously you are automatically no way, ACLU is right. Think long term
