Jared was a young boy doctors said had terrible ADHD. After multiple meds were no help, the family tried an old-fashioned, single-sex Christian school. Now the boy does great without meds, and his doctor leads a crusade for more single-sex schools -- which the ACLU is trying to stop.

I loved going to an all girl school - No distractions, no complications, no drama. We saved all that for after school:-) I wish there was a way to do away with the ACLU and that organization is just one on my list!

The Academy system works fine. I agree with it.

I also believe in simple uniforms....saves money, does not discriminate and it's efficient.

I really get sick of seeing kids go to school looking like slobs.

it is well past time for some conservative of influence to form a group to combat the aclu when it files these lawsuits. it’s time for someone to take up for those who the aclu terrorizes with more than just words. i’d sure be a part of it myself. most of the time the aclu simply threatens to sue and scares the crap out of people bleeding their will to fight against their tyranny of liberal bull$#!+.

Can’t let the boys out from under Marxism’s boot. The benefit of feminism and homosexualism (same thing) has been the weaking and undoing of boys. Males are not easy to place under total control and oppression without total wreckage of their nature and intellegence.

The ACLU--despite the name--has never been about American liberty. It has always been highly selective in what causes & cases that it embraces. The pattern is always to undermine traditional community values; always to attack institutions that help a community to preserve its cultural achievements.

Tragically, in part because of the corrupted perception of the mass media, millions of Americans have accepted this organization as it wants to be seen, rather than as it actually is.

The ACLU has played an enormous role in the developing disaster that we have described as Losing America's Multi-Generational Purpose. If we do not reject Obama in two weeks, the sort of "newspeak," to which the ACLU has contributed so much, may be the only accepted speech allowed. A grim picture, will only get grimmer.

But thank you for posting this enlightening case history.

First, the story tracks Winston Churchill’s experience. He was sent to “good” schools where he failed. Then he ended up under the care of two “crazy old women” who let him build forts and re-enact history. His autobio says “Where my imagination was not engaged I could not or would not learn”.
About the uniforms: kids in public school wear uniforms determined by the fashion industry. They all dress alike. I was a public school administrator for 20+ years. So, to the comment about being picked on in a uniform school, BS! Go watch what happens in a modern public school to a kid who wears last year’s fashions or, God forbid, wears modest clothes.

I went to both coed and single-sex private schools, as well as one with uniforms and one with out.

The all-boys school with uniforms was without question the best environment for me.

Boys just seem to work better when not distracted by girls, and uniforms really did seem to reduce cliquishness and promote judging classmates by their character rather than their fashion sense.

People say their children should be able to express themselves through their dress, but teenagers tend to follow the herd. I think this also tends to inhibit independent thought in teens.

Old-fashioned school saves lives, fixes ADHD, draws ACLU's fire

Surprised no one has picked up on the underlined part yet.
