No matter what the publicized rational for this, its goal seems to be controlling the boys and promoting the girls. This may be the educational mantra of today, but doesn't this remind you of something they would do in Afghanistan (except with the roles of the sexes reversed)?

Will this help or hinder the "school to prison pipeline"? I guess we'll see, won't we?
