Single-Sex Education: Unequal to Segregation

摘要

In their education forum"the pseudo-science of single-sex schooling" (23 September, p. 1706), D. F. Halpern et al.'s premise that racial segregation and single-sex schools are equivalent is unfounded. Racially segregated schools were a function of a reprehensible belief that people of color were different from and, hence, inferior to whites, and that inferiority warranted inequality on any count, including education.
