Emphasis Preaching Journal

Several years ago there were four Orthodox Jewish students who sued Yale University. They sued because the university had a policy that required all freshmen and sophomores to live in the campus dorms. But the thing was that in some of the dorms, men and women shared not only the same floor, but the same bathrooms.

They realized that spending years in that kind of a setting could have negative influences on them, and they did not want to run that risk.
