Outrageous.

One wonders exactly what and who is behind a program that would
link title IX to a ''war on boys''. It is absolutely shocking and disturbing. It
makes you feel that there are people hostile to the idea of educational equity
in powerful places...in the meanwhile here we are, parents, desperately trying
to warn schools that school violence can be directly linked to a sexist
culture..the one on that exists on their schools hallways where girls and boys,
as I have witnessed myself, call each other bitches and the teachers turn the
other way.

Coincidently, yesterday my daughter came home to tell me that a girl and a boy
were bothering her at lunch time telling her that ''she was "'stuck up" because
she was ''a good student and a soccer player''. There is no great deal of
comfort here when todays News Day interviews school representatives and
similarities are pointed out between Columbine High School and our own school
district...
