A recently released FMF study, entitled “*Identifying US K-12 Public Schools with Deliberate Sex Segregation (2011-14) (PDF)* [ http://feminist.org/education/pdfs/IdentifyingSexSegregation12-12-14.pdf ]” shows that sex segregation is on the rise in the US. More information about Title IX and sex-segregated education can be found in [ http://feminist.org/education/pdfs/ProblemswithSexSegregated2.pdf ]*this handout (PDF)* [ http://feminist.org/education/pdfs/ProblemswithSexSegregated2.pdf ] or on our [ http://feminist.org/education/SexSegregation.asp ]*Sex Segregation web page* [ http://feminist.org/education/SexSegregation.asp ].
This trend of sex-segregated education raises serious equality and policy concerns and may violate numerous provisions of state and federal laws.
