my amendment offers the opportunity, the option to local school districts and parents to choose single-sex classrooms or schools if there are comparable opportunities for both sexes. ``Comparable'' is the word used by the Department of Education and the Supreme Court in the VMI case to determine if there is equal protection under the law.
