“I believe public school choice should be expanded and as broadly as possible. Certainly, there should not be any obstacle to providing single-sex choice within the public school system. I thank the Senator from Texas for being a leader in promoting quality single-sex education and for working with me, as well as our colleagues from Maryland and Maine, and with the chairman of the Education Committee, to find a compromise that would further the ability of our school districts around the country to develop and implement quality single-sex educational opportunities as a part of providing a diversity of public school choices to students and parents but in doing it in a way that in no way undermines title IX or the equal protection clause of the Constitution. We know, as the Senator from Texas has said, that single-sex schools and classes can help young people, boys and girls, improve their achievement.”
