MSM is Racist and Sexist
The Problem With Boys
What changes would you recommend if I told you that African-American children were:
four to eight times as likely to be drugged with Ritalin and other stimulants, which pediatrician Leonard Sax, calls “academic steroids.”
reading much more poorly than are other students.
five times more likely to commit suicide.
two and a half times as likely to drop out of high school.
severely underrepresented in college and even more so among college graduates, thereby locking them out of today’s, let alone tomorrow’s, knowledge economy.
You’d likely invoke such words as “institutional racism” to justify major efforts to improve African-Americans’ numbers.
All of the above statements are true except for one thing: I’m not talking about African-American children. I’m talking about children of all races, indeed half of all children, half of our next generation: boys. [snip]
See if this article gives you the warm fuzzies.
It should make you put a Katuscha right into an editor’s bunghole and teachers’ lounge.

It’s a side effect of liberalism. Suppression rather than management of aggressive tendencies. Anyone who’s raised boys knows that you have to channel these evolutionary characteristics; you can’t eliminate them…and shouldn’t.
I found over the past twenty-five years that the average principal and vice principal is a prudish Miss Grundy, driven to sqaush and penalize everything not sanctioned by the weird man-hating prudes in the Superintendent’s office.
The teachers’ endrometria dried up and blew away at age 17, giving them that pinched constipated look. Pillbox hats, lilac talc and heavy support hose are identifiers.
We need only a few Spartans to rectify this pox.
Regarding the rhetorical question at the top of the article, if I were a liberal, the recommendation would probably be something on the order of shooting the messenger, or at least making sure that he, she or that group has no chance to ever get any kind of meaningful work whatsoever again.
