The Rene A. Rost Middle School in Louisiana thinks girls learn better by sitting down and shutting up.

Without parental consent, Principal David Dupuis first began segregating lunch, recess, and bus lines by sex, then moved on to math and English classes.

Boys were expected to enjoy debate; girls to sit quietly and observe.

Boys were given books inspiring them to be adventurous and independent; girls were given books presenting negative consequences to female independence and pushing them to rely on a male love interest instead.

To support his sex segregation agenda, Principal Dupuis faked results to demonstrate academic and behavioral benefits to single-sex classes, when in fact there were no visible behavioral changes and test scores actually went down.

Parents who tried to elect a coed option were coerced, ignored, or their children were placed in a special needs class, the only "coed option" offered.

A former president of the American Psychological Association has testified that this curriculum causes real and irreversible harm to children.

Tell Principal Dupuis and the Vermilion Parish school board to stop perpetuating gender stereotypes and adversely impacting their children.
