The ongoing War on Boys in the public school system!
What ever happened to letting boys be boys? Take these two cases: In one, a seven-year-old boy was sent home for nibbling a Pop Tart into the shape of a gun. In another, a teacher was so alarmed by a picture drawn by a student (of a sword fight) that the boy's parents were summoned in for a conference. In short, boys in Amerika's schools are routinely punished for being active, competitive, and restless. In other words, boys can no longer be boys. Christina Hoff Sommers, a scholar at the American Enterprise Institute, explains how we can change this.
