The American Civil Liberties Union is trying to stop sex-segregated classes from being offered at Rene Rost Middle School in Kaplan.

The ACLU filed a lawsuit against the Vermilion Parish School Board on behalf of a parent and her two daughters, sixth and eighth grade students at the school.

All sides were in Lafayette Wednesday for a preliminary injunction hearing. It's is the first court hearing ever on same sex segregation in coed public schools.
