    I don't see a chance in the world that the federal courts would allow 
_public_ K-12 schools to be sex-segregated after the VMI decision.  
    The Supreme Court said in the VMI case that any sex segregation at any 
school getting state funds (like a public K-12 one!) must make an 
"exceedingly persuasive" justification.  I don't think any sex-segregated 
class but phys-ed and maybe sex education can meet that standard.  If 
sex-segregated math classes don't meet that standard at VMI, they sure won't 
at a local public high school.
    If sex-segregated classes or schools getting tax funding would have 
generally met the requirements that the Supreme Court set in any 
circumstances, it would have been at a "military school" like VMI.  Even the 
"barracks living" argument didn't convince the justices.
