The ACLU views sex differences as ‘discredited notions’

When boys should be girls and girls 

should be boys, according to ACLU

If you ever start hoping that the left will leave the rest of us alone, move on, because that’s not going to happen.

At the heart of the Founders’ vision for America was the idea of decentralized power, whereby people across the land could experiment with solutions, not follow dictates from the top. It’s why we have 50 states.

Born in the spirit of the French Revolution — which ended in tyranny — the left has been at war with American-style freedom ever since. In their perfect world, federally empowered social engineers in Washington tell everyone else what to do.

A case in point is the battle unfolding in Florida’s second-largest school district, where the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) is calling for a federal probe into single-sex education. This is one of those experiments that the left hates because it acknowledges significant differences between the sexes.

The ACLU’s 37-page complaint to the U.S. Department of Education’s Office of Civil Rights accuses the Hillsborough County Public Schools of violating Title IX. That’s the federal law that, among other things, is wreaking havoc with college-level sports.

Low-revenue programs such as wrestling are being eliminated by the hundreds so that boys won’t have more teams than girls. Scholarship money is being spread so thin that even more popular men’s sports, such as baseball and men’s gymnastics, are threatened. Never mind that surveys and common sense (spend one hour in a sports bar) show that males typically have a far greater interest in sports than females — even though many girls and women are fine athletes and avid fans. All must bow to the sameness god.
