Boys today feel isolated and outgunned, but many, like Brandon, don’t lack pluck and courage.

And they become prime candidatres for Ritalin to make them conformist vegetables.

You know, I'm not sure I believe any of this. With arts programs on the outs, and sometimes even athletics, and not enough activity for all that young energy, I don't think demasculization is an issue.

All schools should be private, K-12, colleges, grad schools. There should be no federal or state involvement in education. This would cut state and local taxes by about 50% and put the money in the hands of education consumers to spend as they see fit. A whole new private education industry would take over, giving real choice, competition and high quality. Consumers always demand those things in a capitalist, non-socialist system. If XYZ School has a bad product, just switch to ABC School, etc.
