Well - let me be the reactionary, again. With some reference back to David's point about "social engineering" and its deleterious effect on education. There is a long history of literature on the subject of the inevitable destructiveness of just these kinds of engineering efforts - mostly an outgrowth of the intellectual minority mustering some effort to confront the intellectual majority's pussyfooting on subjects like Marxism. Educators have done enough harm to boys already by trying to solve these problems (in an atmosphere of duress), and more abstract, but real, harm to girls as well. More efforts will bring us more of the same. As a good reactionary, I actually wish we could - for the good of all - roll things back a bit. But will settle for a moratorium. A good, long moratorium.
