- - - - "Today, single sex- education is being promoted to educators, policymakers, and parents on the grounds that boys and girls learn differently due to underlying biological factors, including hormone levels, neurological function, and even hearing ability." (Williams, p. 557)
    - - "The assumption was that by teaching girls and boys the same subjects in the same way at the same age, gender gaps in achievement would be eradicated. That approach has failed." (Williams, p. 558)
    - - "The specific concerns is that claims about neurobiology are being used to justify educational arrangements in which boys and girls are trained to conform to sex-role stereotypes rather than to challenge them" (Williams, n.d., p.561).
      - Girls work best in a collaborative atmosphere where boys require more management.
    - - “Proponents of single-sex education generally (and the sex difference approach in particular) have benefited from the limited capacity of intermediate scrutiny analysis to challenge sex-role stereotypes.” (William, 2010, p. 573)
      - “Sexual realism has proven critical in carving out a space not simply for sex-segregation in public primary and secondary schools, but for educational programs which claim the authority of science for practices that re-inscribe traditional views about male and female sex- roles, behaviors, and aptitudes.” (William, 2010, p. 573)
    - - “Since its emergence in the late 1980s, the movement for single-sex public education has placed the needs of disadvantaged children at its rhetorical center.” (William, 2010, p. 574)
      - “Proponents of single-sex public education have eagerly taken on this challenge. Salomone, for example, insists that contemporary single-sex experiments should not be confused with the "first generation of elite single- sex institutions," many of which were premised on blatantly stereotypical assumptions about the inferiority of the excluded group.” (William, 2010, p. 575)
      - “Proponents of single-sex public education stress its potentially remedial effects for those who have suffered a range of social disadvantages, including poverty and a lack of gender-appropriate role models.” (William, 2010, p. 576)
    - - “Legal challenges to sex segregation in public schools have prompted accusations that main- stream feminist organizations prioritize the abstract principle of formal equality over the urgent need to expand the educational opportunities available to the nation's most needy children.” (William, 2010, p. 577)
      - “As a critical perspective, intersectionality has come to be understood as a corrective to forms of identity politics that, in proceeding on the basis of a "single-axis analysis," produce marginalization’s from within by ignoring intra-group differences.” (William, 2010, p. 578)
        
        “Intersectionality provides a particularly helpful framework for under- standing the political effects of framing the debate over single-sex public education as a contest between advocates for disadvantaged children on the one hand and establishment feminists on the other.” (William, 2010, p. 578)
