Reminder: Sex segregation in school still exists.

The National Women’s Law Center (NWLC) released a really great report yesterday titled, “Tools of the Trade: Using the Law to Address Sex Segregation in High School Career and Technical Education.”
The report contains data from twelve different states — Arizona, California, Florida, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, New Jersey, North Carolina and Washington — showing how female high school students are continuously underrepresented in nontraditional courses for their gender. In result, they suffer economically because of the fact that traditionally “male” occupations pay more. (Let’s not even add the wage gap on top of that disparity.)
The great thing about the report is that not only does it bring this issue to light, but also offers twelve state-specific toolkits that directly examine the laws in each state that are relevant to this problem.
Depressing report, great cause. Click here to read it.
