Boys are more likely to grow up and end up in prison. It holds back our potential if a large group of people isn't doing well. Educated women can't find educated husbands. Boys are not achieving their potential. As a nation we lose out when any group doesn't achieve it's potential. Whether it is video games, TV, drugs or other reasons, this must be investigated and discussed. It isn't sexist to discuss this. Yes, there are issues of sexism which need to be addressed, but when you look at the top groups in education, if we could get all kids to the level of the top groups, we'd have a much stronger and richer nation. We need to make changes to reach males, African Americans, Latinos, average and below average income whites, every group falling far below their potential. At the present time this includes males. This is an important issue and I will be at this meeting and am looking forward to it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7973150889906485448.post-31674412913689262302014-10-06T19:05:40.323-07:002014-10-06T19:05:40.323-07:00Personally, until women achieve parity in pay, equ...Personally, until women achieve parity in pay, equal advancement opportunities to high corporate and political offices, I could care less.
