I completely agree. The Supreme court, many years ago, struck down the segregation of schools in the the South. The court said the notion of "separate but equal" was impossible, and all students in public schools, thereafter, were not to be segregated.

The same should apply to the current segregation of school athletic programs by gender. There should be just one team/program for a sport. If someone, whether male of female, can make it on the team based on the objective athletic criteria, then they get cut. If they choose not to participate because they don't want to mix with the other gender, then that is their choice.

Also, while we are at it, 18 year old girls should be registered for the draft, just like boys are.

Every campus with a "Women's Studies" department or course should be compelled to ALSO have a "Men's Studies" department, etc.. If their either fund both or shut them down or have government funds, loans, etc., denied to those colleges.

What ever happened to equal justice under the law?
