I would also venture to say that women get degrees in the "softer" disciplines...as opposed to math, engineering, etc.
And I also wanted to excerpt this, so it wouldn't be such a long read...but I couldn't find anything I wanted to cut.
Great example of how the drive-by media would rather report that boys are worse off as opposed to girls doing better.
To hear the college professors today, ALL college entrants fall far short in ALL areas, particularly in "thinking", both men and women. Years ago it was reported they couldn't fill out a college application properly, and it has gone down hill since then. So what else is new coming out of the public school system?
I don't understand what you mean...she shows that it's not a zero-sum game...boys are doing worse.
Am I not understanding?
yes they are moslty softer programs, the real problem is participation in the harder programs is dropping by american males as well
I have this habbit of skimming articles in about 10 seconds. Drew the wrong conclusion.
Translation: The number of boys put on drugs by the NEA/Lesbian/Psychological Services mafia for acting like boys has grown beyond all reason.
LOL! That remark got Larry Summers of Harvard fame in HUGE trouble!! I agree with the comment!
LOL!!! That's why I wanted to make the article shorter...I had the same take you did when I first read it!
Bill and Melinda Gates' Foundation is a NGO who closely works with the CFR, and because of that, I don't trust anything they say or do. When I think about the NGOS getting together (at least once a year) to plan our future, it really makes me mad!!
The fact is that men, especially white men, are mercillessly abused by the left wing teachers and administrations of todays colleges Men are not welcomed on campus as they once were.
I'm thinking of going back to school myself...I graduated in English/History/Journalism...but have developed a talent for programming...who'd a thunk? However, it wasn't done in my day....
It seems to me we're raising a generation of ignorant, fat, effeminate, asthmatics who are sensitive to second hand smoke.
Another decade and it's bound to be "hell among the yearlings." Me, I'm working on my espanol.
Bill & Melinda Gates recently funded a magnet public school in Los Angeles which promotes Mecha/La Raza principles only.
I would agree totally in the liberal arts...but I don't see how that would be in the sciences.
The public school classroom is structured for right handed girls. When I worked with learning disabled students, the vast majority of them were left handed boys. Their brains are wired differenly and need to process information differently.
The sciences have been poisoned as well, albeit to a lesser degree.
Being a new college student at the ripe age of 32 I am amazed at how little students fresh from HS know in relative to my aged mind 14 years removed from HS, I am not an average student in intellect or knowledge for sure(not bragging) but seriously I am amazed at the distance between me and my fellow students are on some subjects.

Boy...do I agree with you there!!!
Don't go out and play...don't burn off your energy...don't...don't...don't....
...and then we'll drug you until you comply....
