Currently, our secondary schools nationally are nearing 50% Black & Hispanic nationally. The majority population of Caucasian is reproducing at a rate lower than for Blacks and Hispanics. In the Black community 70+% of families have no father. In second and third generation Hispanics this number is even higher. Communities without fathers have higher poverty and crime rates. Very few in the Black and Hispanic communities will be graduates from college. The population demographics are shifting so that the country as a whole is becoming significantly older. In 20 years roughly half of the working population will be underemployed, in the undergound economy, or in jail. Out of wedlock births will be widespread. The other half will be paying higher taxes due to social costs associated with this huge underclass plus the costs associated with an aging population. This half will also have to compete with very competitive workforces and much greater in size in India and China. America's overall world GNP and standard of living will drop. America will resemble the malaise of the U.K. in the 1970s. Feminism and government policies that have discriminated against men and fathers are literally destroying America before our eyes. 20 years is not far away. Look at Europe and it's feminist/secularist society. They do not compete well and have lost their entrepreneurial spirit decades ago. We are following their decent. Feminism will not prevail because it will destroy America as it has been doing for 40+ years.

America’s overall world GNP and standard of living will drop. America will resemble the malaise of the U.K. in the 1970s.

Feminism and government policies that have discriminated against men and fathers are literally destroying America before our eyes. 20 years is not far away. Look at Europe and it’s feminist/secularist society. They do not compete well and have lost their entrepreneurial spirit decades ago. We are following their decent.

Feminism will not prevail because it will destroy
America as it has been doing for 40+ years.

A teacher is a government employee. The U.S. government has been promoting the new liberal feminist agenda since the 1960s. The feminist rule is man bad, woman good. For elementary school teachers and administrators (read government employees), the general rule is boy bad, girl good. Feminism cause of the 1870’s moved from equal rights and opportunities for women to women are superior today. I suppose this was caused because the group achieved their goals, but did not want to disband. I expect that their leadership, like NOW's group, are paid well. Also, our government continues to hire feminists to identify, process, and “help” all the bad men and boys. This helps expand government and their role in our lives. The feminists put the government as head of the household and as boss in the workplace, and if boys or men do not agree, then they will end up in detention or worse jail. The conservative cause is not helped, as the government's feminist rule is promoted and glamorized by the liberal media and Hollywood. Happily standardized test results are not controlled by the government, feminists or the media, however, they are mostly ignored now, with the exception of this article. Thanks.

There are activities to keep everyone busy, books to read and chores or time-outs for non-conformity or conflict. Every inmate/student must fit very precise behavioral parameters or be medicated or punished. It is the system and the people who run the system who have turned education into nothing more than a daytime holding center for children. Of course the boys hate control more than girls. This is why they are more often on lockdown in prison, and more often on medication or time-out in school. Boy crisis? Yes, but it's only a symptom of a social reality that is constantly trying to regulate anything masculine out of existence. When will the work be done? When all women are masculine and aggressive, and most men are either girly-men or locked up. From the behavior of children and adults in the USA, it looks like we are getting closer to the goal.

There is nothing more mind-numbing for the students than atheism, possibly even more boring for boys than for girls.

Perhaps destroying boys and their education is intentional by the educational establishment. In 1992 the report “How Schools Shortchange Girls” was released by the American Association of University Women. This coincided with girls and women pulling ahead of the boys and men, academically, in enrollment, and graduation. It also coincided with a dramatic increase in political correctness and hostility towards men, and favoritism towards women in colleges. And it also coincided with a dramatic increase in the use of Ritalin for boys. (Funny how this boy problem requiring Ritalin never existed when I was a kid, and in fact never existed at anytime before. The use of Ritalin during a boys physical growing, and intellectually and emotionally developing years is, in my opinion, dangerous and damaging to boys (who will become men). It is a state-sanctioned chemical attack.) You can’t have it both ways: 1.) either you are shortchanged, or 2.) you are being treated with unfair favortism. Pick one. The problem is not a non-existent (and NEVER-existent) patriarchy. The problem is a matriarchy with an agenda at high levels. Perhaps what is happening to boys has been engineered by the educational establishment, and in particular, by the American Association of University Women. “Why is the obvious so deluding to the people that are currently destroying boys and their education.”

But, I do buy books Titled "What your child needs to know in (fill in the blank) grade". We do it over the summer. It gives them a leg up. I could complain all day about the teachers but it's counterproductive. So I do what I can to ensure they know what they need to know. My oldest is thrilled, he's going into the 6th this year, this is the first time he'll have a Man teacher. My middle is going into the 5th, he's brilliant. so naturally he's in Special ed. They pretty much get a new teacher every year, last year he had an exellent teacher(she's a science wiz) they didn't ask her back because the principal didn't like her. Why get rid of a teacher that can hook boys? Makes no sense. I’d love to home school, it’s not an option. But,

And if they are really intelligent from a young age, they are doomed.
