The most clear proof is this: 45% of students entering college are male (and dropping steadily). When it reaches 40% there will be 1.5 times as many girls as boys in college. And we (in the university system) continue to see highly-funded programs promoting women in certain fields (science, engineering), but the silence on the other side of the coin is DEAFENING ... where are the program to help make up for the growing shortfall of boys' performance in reading and language skills, or their shortfall in even reaching college at all?? Think about it - the long-term implications are serious!

I get what you're saying. Tech courses are important for American students of all sexes, including male, female AND the yet-to-be-determined. I say this tongue-in-cheek to highlight my chagrin at the 'tolerance' being taught for gays in the lower grades!

I guess the Ivy League president who said women weren't mentally up to the tech courses didn't know about the other side of the coin. Curriculums need work, across the board. I think they get more attention in colleges and if we had fewer liberal profs we'd be on the right track!

what is REALLY shocking is that the ivory tower sees the solution as imposing MORE feminizing upon the boys.

They don't see the ivory tower as failing to teach.

Essentially they have outlawed via PC learning methods for boys.

That is because, outside the hard sciences, most college is a four year party with a heck of a tab. Most men would be must better severed at a trade school, and indeed that is the trend.

"Think about it - the long-term implications are serious!"

Of course they are. But it's unlikely to change. The unfortunate truth is that in our legal and political system, as well as in large parts of our popular culture, males are simply not considered to be as valuable as females are.
