The Calgary Public School Board has decided to spend taxpayers'
money setting up an exclusive school that turns away 51% of the
population. The Ottawa District School Board also entertains
similar ideas.
We have had discussions on this topic before in ott.educaiton.misc,
but I guess it is time to revive the issue. Should the public finance
girls-only/boys-only/catholic-only/whites-only/blacks-only schools?

Opening up an all girls school in my opinion is wrong, unless it's funded
solely by the user. I do however find it strange that we are segregating
groups more and more. Let's see what will happen if I register my son in
this all girls school. After all, I should have that right. Not that I'd
want to. Goodness , I couldn't imagine a room full of females. What a
punishment for him.
Or we could start up an all boys school . Or, we could begin a school for
kids with dogs only. Then we could move on and open schools for kids whose
parents are shorter than five feet. Or , we could just put more money into
the public system and make the educational environment more enjoyable and
safer for all.
I'm waiting for the argument that will say girls will do better here without
the male involvement. I suppose guys just get in the way.

Will there likewise be boys-only schools set up?

Well, FWIW, I don't generally believe in "Anything"-Only similar to the way I
don't agree with hyphenated Canadians. To me you're either a Canadian or you're
not. I don't need an adjective in front of it.
