[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Maybe this is the way it should be.  Women aren’t being held down and straight, white boys aren’t getting a free pass to higher education.

But it's _all_ boys who are falling behind, just not white boys.

Take the same article but change "men" to "people of color" and schools would be lamenting the trend and looking for ways to encourage that group to apply in larger numbers, set up special programs, etc. But because it's men.. crickets.[/quote]

Yes, and the lack of attention to unique issues facing males, as a group, in education manifests itself further disadvantaged boy of color.[b] From a young age, boys who are active and don't exhibit what is viewed as ideal behavior are continuously viewed as bad and not smart. [/b]They are told that their perspectives don't matter. This is a real thing, but no one cares because they think some past advantage is being corrected. You can't correct historical injustices by teaching any children, regardless of race or gender, that they aren't capable and don't matter.[/quote]

Ding ding ding.
