A Louisiana public school asks the girls to sit quietly and watch the boys learn.
The ACLU filed a sex segregation lawsuit in September 2009 against the Vermilion Parish School District in Louisiana. The school district segregated its classrooms by gender (only allowing the girls to join the “special needs” co-educational classes). The hearing, regarding sex-segregated classes in coeducational public schools, is currently taking place at a federal court in Louisiana.
