So hmmm.
If we separate the blacks and whites we get in crap. Alright.
If we separate the genders, yet still have both in the school, then we become a single-gender school wannabe.
Obviously, we should separate all races and genders!
Brilliant idea.
I wonder when they will realize that race isn't a strict set of possibilities, and neither is gender. Water isn't just cold or hot.

Yes, I thought this was ridiculous. What a step backwards. I understand the role model thing, but this is the wrong way to go about it.
