Should sex-segregated swimming hours be established in public pools?

Should Muslim swimwear be required in segregated sessions in public pools?

In France, Sarkozy and Hollande, the Socialist candidate for President, agree this is wrong.

In England, it’s happening in pools around the country.

In Switzerland, a court has ruled that Muslim parents can be fined for refusing to let their children participate in required swimming classes (based on modesty concerns).

What should public pools in the U.S. do? Or is this already happening here?

1. No religious rules should not and will not be forced on to anyone,

I will not follow such a rule if they try and enforce crap like this in the US.

A dollar says he only puffs up to Christians and Jews.

2. I'm not opposed to having

hours of opportunity to swim with only your own gender, but not because of Islamic tradition. I think some women might be interested in swimming only with other women.

These other accommodations for swim apparel are ridiculous, IMO. I don't want to swim in a dress or with fabric on my arms.

I see no reason to push for these accommodations in public facilities.

How aboout men at a private club only wanting to play golf with other men?

3. Hollande and Sarkozy are right.

"When in Rome, do as the Romans do" is always good advice.

What about the transgenders?  Why not consider their feelings, you sexist bitch.

Every year for the Masters at Augusta, we have to listen to the drivel and pablum about how sexist the organization is for not allowing female members. Libs don't know or care about how old that saw is getting.

These are the rules as I understand them -

Women may segregate themselves from men, if they wish. Eg. 'Curves', Belizean Grove etc.
Men many never segregate themselves from women.
Minorities may segregate themselves from whites, if they wish. Eg. Congressional Black Caucus, NAACP, etc.
Whites may never segregate themselves from minorities.

Liberalsim is a love-hate relationship.

They love themselves and they hate you because you refuse to love them too.

Their rules will never be consistent because they aren't meant to be; they are meant to exalt the liberal and diminish you.

Indeed - And what about my feelings ? Maybe I would like to have some swim time only with people who happen to be me. No splashing and ruckus from others who aren't me. Wonderful. And I am being denied this basic human right !!!!1!!!!1

They talk big now but they will be the first to stick their butt in the air and bump their head on the ground 5 times a day.

I have no problems with Muslims being modest in public pools.  My daughters prefer to wear a t-shirt over their suits, so we don't go anywhere that doesn't allow that.  However, they don't have the right to demand that everyone dress their way, or demand a public pool enforce segregation of sexes.  If they want segregated pools, they can build their own clubs.

This is off topic, but I wonder if someone can help me out here. Several years back I seem to remember a black guy getting elected who was asked to join the Congressional Black Caucus. When he refused he was asked something along the lines of didn't he want to show he was a good black man. He responded that his parents didn't raise him to be a good black man. They raised him to be a good man.

If my memory is correct and this happened, who was the guy?

I remember J.C. Watts refused to join, and on the flip side Stephen Cohen was denied membership because he was white.

Not at all.

Women are very catty to other women.  I can't stand being in a room full of women, so there is no way I'd go to a swimming pool that's for women only.

[franksolich]

Yeah, it was then-congressman J.C. Watts of OKlahoma.

I wish he were still there.

He's on Hannity radio quite a bit.

That sums it up. High five.

The New York State parks with beaches on Lake Ontario don't allow that.  The little tyrants in the government decided that you will most certainly drown if you wear extra cover, (even though they don't allow you to go any more than calf-deep into the water).  A family friend who is a big girl, was reduced to tears from the nazi lifeguards berating her for wishing to wear extra fabric.  Bastard creeps. 

DUmmies, this is demokrat government in deep blue New York.  Yours.

I believe it was Watts.  On the other hand Allen West has demanded to join, driving them batshit.

How can you go into Lake Ontario water without a wet suit?

For about three hours every year, it gets above 50 degrees.  The trick is knowing when those three hours are going to occur.
