joining me is that a cast and cohost of the young turks on current t_v_ and of
course that the young turks dot com to great stories to talk about anna let's
start with alabama schools what's going on a hofmann middle school
so how do you know school eleven other common school and i have decided that
they still invaders segregation but they're not segregating based on race
day segregating based on sats
and so what they're doing is they're putting their mail since their finances
in completely different classes
but not just about and down into the house of god
social time zone they're not there is every day during lunch they don't have
the same lunch break
solapur reasoning for less is that
supposedly the young boys are more efficient learning certain subjects like
math
ingly bentsen's boys have a constant search of testosterone and since there
are more likely to be competitive which of course i'm not i'm either
uh... day and said denying
you know desiccation on developments in
be hindered by these little girls
bridal
i recently told let me know since you have
a surgeon estrogen once a month well maybe we should give you a different
classes and and do this type of target teaching
yes so this is so funny because number one it's scary because this is
this is not that different from what for example in saudi arabia when there's a
big debate over whether women should be able to drive that
and taken back to where there ten years younger is basically this exact same
thing
you had
saudi arabia sound so extreme bowling you really think about it does call
underlying message it is that
boys are more aggressive they're smarter and more efficient than girls
therefore grows to be placing classes where they want him to the educational
development of these plans
that being the reasoning here is the solvency of science and if you want to
have a conversation about how he lives in growth communicate differently
on the east she said the difference between that's that's fine
but they're basically telling you the last
you are not aren't going to be good at math you are not going to be good
excited schools are subjects that are reserved for a little boys
and he has a soccer league on somebody's little girls encompass apply to lunch is
the other question
because if it's really about math and science why they also segregated at
lunch
well i think the whole on situation
is it for that example of how this isn't really about education this is about
uh... in my opinion some very conservative teachers and administrators
worrying about these middle school students
uh... you know happened
berlet issues with one another so they're just trying to keep them safe
i don't think that he should not be not happening real
uh... science backing up their planes and if they do why are they not allowed
to socialize during lunch to parents who want to send me a generous then they
would put these kids and private schools is that
now is there any is this
do we actually had to any sense of usaid pseudo signs are are they pointing to
anything real as to where they're getting these ideas
sial at around eight p combat actually backs up what they're saying
their basically arguing that at no injustice r_k_ pinochet
that hotmail boys arrested dev more competitive
you know it's the kind of thinking that we saw back in the nineteen fifties rest
on lebed's referred to is uh... c_s_i_s_ because it's the way people black back
in the days the way of researchers top of the day and as i said before it even
you i'll want to have a discussion about gender communication and how boys are
more visual the girls are or something like that that's totally fine with me
but by telling you know a certain group of students that they're not good enough
to excel in a particular topic
usually lose credibility i i don't believe that out by
hesitated even go here but if we want to talk about actual differences between
groups of students and how they learn
we have actual science that shows
the big difference between children of authoritarian parents who tend to be
more conservative and children the parents were less authoritarian more
nurturing edit and up more liberal and there's way more evidence that really
bear the students that should be getting too hot in two different ways than men
and women of course i don't actually support any of this type of segregation
but there's really more of a science case for segregating students based on
the political orientation of their parents than by this of course i'm sure
they don't want to do that
right ways they don't want to do that and and you know i don't i don't know
too much about that in terms of the other differences in their learning
abilities
on but i think that it's important to
first of all if you want discuss uh... efficiency in the classroom when we talk
about outlast any more money on public education rather than defunding at what
we have a discussion about making classrooms smaller so teachers are
distressed and he can focus on
a particular students need to mediate and that's what you would really propose
in terms of uh... improving our education but they don't have that
discussion i think that what they're really worried about
is media females to getting pregnant or something
so as a result of trying to separate the students so they don't have to deal with
any of that at here because just like abstinence only sex education keeping
many of the boys and girls in different classes will obviously prevent all
pregnancy
