    How very “Handmaid’s Tale” of them. Next it’ll be uniforms, the lessons and activities allowed for girls are whittled down, separate lessons with some more indoctrination… It’s clear that’s what the government is aiming for and people voted for it.

      I’m fairly certain their end goal is uneducated women like the Taliban. Easier to control that way.

        Gotta ask have you been in school in the past 20 years?

        I’m not sure if any state school has lessons divided by gender aside from P.E. and possibly some Sex Ed lessons…

        Gender division in schooling was certainly a thing in the 70’s and probably the 80’s.

          I’m thinking of P.E. and uniform. Although some state schools are entirely divided based on gender.
