Gender has nothing to do with limiting what children can carry, or conceal, coming and going from the school building.

In Pakistan the gender segregation is almost certainly a religious thing given Islam is the religion of 96% of the country. Segregation by gender is also found in masjids/mosques, this is a normal part of Islamic culture.

Comparing a religious custom in a predominately Islamic country to clear backpacks in American schools is wholly irrelevant.

The point was they’re not trusted to goof off between classes unsupervised - that fraternization is the motivation is secondary. Also thanks for lazily generalizing about Islamic countries

Just give it another few hundred years and clear backpacks and other stuff will be part of american culture/religion.
