“Generally boys do better in STEM classes and worse in English and foreign languages. Guess which ones they keep adding to the requirements and which they try to take out? It’s part of the war on boys that has permeated our schools.”

One of our younger second generation male relatives is very good with math and science classes. He goes to an expensive private all male school. He recently told us that next year his STEM classes will become STEMA, The A stands for arts.

I posed the question to his parents, “Did they add A/arts to hire female teachers to meet some quota!”

At first I was laughed at, now his parents are not laughing.
They and other parents are now opposing this PC crap. They are paying $20 k per year out of their pocket for this PC bs.

I just started teaching at a STEAM high school this year (The A is for Arts) and I'm an English teacher. The school is VERY boy-heavy. Most of my classes have about 28 boys and 6-7 girls. Nearby is a Performing Arts school. Guess where the girls are?

There really is a natural division of the sexes, but those who are cross-overs should be given their chance to compete. However, that can NOT mean making it easier. All it can mean is: you get a seat in the class. Do your best and good luck.
