The discussion about separating girls and boys into gender-specific classrooms for math and science classes in Michigan public schools is another clear example of a "Band-Aid" fix to recently come out of Lansing. State Board of Education Superintendent Mike Flanagan recently stated there's nothing wrong with exploring the option. I can agree with being open to exploring ideas, but to suggest that by segregating the sexes, "women get more involved, they answer questions and are more active" without males around does not take into account the reasons why that may be accurate.

Heating oil is a petroleum product used primarily in space heaters by about 8.1 million Americans, according to the Energy Information Administration Web site.

I couldn't have agreed more with the editorial "Vaccine doesn't promote promiscuity" (SN 6/13). Plain and simple, a vaccine that prevents cervical cancer is a medical breakthrough — the first ever of its kind and an important advance in women's health.
Philip Calvin Vails was active in youth outreach, loved God and wanted to manage his own music career someday. The 19-year-old general management sophomore died Sunday after passing out during a game of basketball. His legal guardian, Southfield resident, Paul Cooper, said Vails' cause of death hasn't been determined, and was told by a medical examiner it will take 6-8 weeks to find out what happened. "It shocked and surprised all of us," Cooper said. Friends, family and colleagues of Vails remember him as a funny, caring man who loved working with people and writing music. "He was very easygoing, funny and had a low-key, wonderful sense of humor," Cooper said.
