Christina Hoff Sommers: School Has Become Hostile to Boys | TIME.com
In all these cases, school officials found the children to be in violation of the schools zero-tolerance policies for firearms, which is clearly a ludicrous application of the rule. But common sense isnt the only thing at stake here. In the name of zero tolerance, our schools are becoming hostile environments for young boys.

Girls occasionally run afoul of these draconian policies; but it is mostly boys who are ensnared. Boys are nearly five times more likely to be expelled from preschool than girls. In grades K-12, boys account for nearly 70% of suspensions, often for minor acts of insubordination and defiance. In the cases of Christopher, Josh and Alex, there was no insubordination or defiance whatsoever. They were guilty of nothing more than being typical 7-year-old boys. But in todays school environment, that can be a punishable offense.
Zero tolerance was originally conceived as a way of ridding schools of violent predators, especially in the wake of horrific shootings in places like Littleton, Colo. But juvenile violence, including violence at schools, is at a historic low. The Bureau of Justice Statistics reports that in 2011, approximately 1% of students ages 12 to 18 reported a violent victimization at school. For serious violence, the figure is one-tenth of 1%. It does no disrespect to the victims of Columbine or Sandy Hook to note that while violence may be built into the core of a small coterie of sociopathic boys, most boys are not sociopathic.
It depends on what you think is 'typical' behavior for boys. As long as we encourage and accept more agressive and violent behavior from boys, we are encouraging a status quo that teaches boys to be more agressive and violent.
Archiac values and attitudes about what is 'typical' for the male gender is what you are referring to; the fact is that all students should be held to the same rules of behavior, no matter what their gender. The 'boys will be boys' attitude is old fashioned and not conducive to raising the best type of productive, healthy individual who will function well in society. For example, 'Boys will be boys' thinking results in males being incarcerated in prisons at a rate many times what females are.
We need to stop reinforcing 'typical' gender based stereotypes for both men and women and help children to grow up as thoughtful, whole human beings. If playing with toy guns or playing 'shoot 'em up' is not allowed in school, it is not allowed, not for anyone, no matter what gender.
It must be acknowledged that pretty much all of the school and other mass shootings have been done by males. This must be significant and suggests our society teaches males to solve their problems with firearms. Stats show that for males, shooting oneself is the most likely form of suicide while women tend to use other methods.

And so the feminization (and devaluing) of American males continues, courtesy of the Left. Thank you, liberal women, and liberal men who want to be women, or at least, act like women. I can't say I'm surprised. Nice going, lemmings.
All part of the left's agenda to pussify our boys and turn them into sheeple that are more easily controlled and directed by the State.
There has been an unspoken war against MASCULINITY for decades now.
And if you give it some thought you'll understand why, too.
Aggressive attitudes, an unwillingness to take shit passively, is something that CORPORATE AMERICA cannot stand.
Women make better corporate tools than most men do.
This is something new in America ..but now there are more women in corporate middle management than there are men.
Why?]
Because women are more passive, easier to control, and they simply make better workers and managers in most work environments.
They know how to NOT be agressve while being PASSIVE aggressive.
That is the perfect model for a corporate tool.

Libtards encourage girls should act like boys, boys to act like girls then step back at the gender confusion and assert how natural it all is, lol.

Who the hell gave the SCHOOLS the right to determine how American males turn out? That's for the boys' FAMILIES to decide, not some air-head academics more interested in a politcal agenda than educating these boys in history, geography, math, science, and physical education. It doesn't "take a village" or any of the other horseshit you leftists preach. Kids learn their values at home and out in the school yard with each other....the classroom is to prepare them for life, not discourage them from living it.

Assuming the Time report is accurate though [MENTION=42498]Esmeralda[/MENTION] , suspension is definitely an over-reaction.
I don't think it is an over-reaction if the boys have been repeatedly reminded of the rules.
There has been an unspoken war against MASCULINITY for decades now.
And if you give it some thought you'll understand why, too.

95% of everything a kids sees in the movies and on TV involves somebody shooting somebody. If these pinheads are so disturbed by our "gun culture" why not go after the leftist crowd in Hollyweird who's produced it? WHOA! that would involve going after the real source of the problem...something the left has no history with...they're much better at creating problems and watching us trying to solve them.

My sons have been raised to be men. Aggressive and violent acts are sometimes necessary. To suggest otherwise is folly. But hey, that's ok someone has to stay back and profit from being protected by the men and women who protect us.It depends on what you think is 'typical' behavior for boys.

Males are more aggressive and violent. Welcome to Planet Earth. Be sure and pick up some souvenirs before returning to your home world of Androgynia.
My son has been raised not to be aggressive and violent, and he is a beautiful boy.

"Act like girls," "Act like boys." Nobody even knows what the hell that is. .
