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. I hope we will allow all of the parents of our country to have this as an option. We have to break out of the box in public education to give options to our parents for what is best for their child.
