Gender Equity: Eliminating Discrimination or accommodating Differences in Education
Introduction
The idea of educational equality started with the establishment of public schools. These schools were formed to offer settings where citizens in a diverse democracy could gain the skills the required to meet the responsibilities of protecting the rights of all individuals leading to equality in education sectors as submitted by Nelson, Palonsky, and McCarthy (2013). However, the current struggle to act impartially on education only resulted in the further delineation of the inequalities. The paper expresses views based on reading as well as research and exploring factors resulting in some citizen’s feelings concerning the segregation of students by gender.

The United States was founded by people who were in search of protection from religious oppression; consequently, it is suitable to surrender to these facts. There was a time when many individuals felt that the quality of education different genders received should not be influenced by biological differences (Nelson, Palonsky & McCarthy, 2013). Courageous efforts made over the years have forced changes, yet currently, people still discuss the issue of inequality.
In spite the adjustments made, the increased outcome for female students, and the number of women pursuing higher education, the issue that gender parity is still a problem only makes me feel that there are some difficulties in the society to adopt a full understanding of the question.
