Points are given if you decorate your NOTE BOOK???!!!??
That is one of the most ridiculous things I've ever heard! And they expect boys to do that??!??
But, oh, no the schools don't favor girls!
Yeah, right. Shut UP!

it wouldn't be so bad if the decoration thing was left up to the student's discretion.
but forcing the use of typically feminine decorations is simply unfair.
boys don't associate with that. of course there's always the exception but for simplicity's sake, typically feminine things don't appeal to boys.
and the better not pull that "but they have to get in touch with their feminine side" crap. they don't encourage girls to get in touch with their masculine side and nobody complains.

I always tell feminists that; we men will get in touch with our "feminine side" when they get in touch with their's.
I'm a man. I don't have a "feminine side". If I did I'd be what Indians typically refer to as a "two spirit". In plain English that means a Homosexual.
Sorry, ladies. I'm a Heterosexual. I can't help it. I was born that way...

Agreed, but we'd get sentenced to prison terms for it. The misandrists would probably get a fucking medal or a new law to give them some more of our rights.

I hope this goes well. It sounds like he is handling the situation smoothly. I am always worried that people who do something like this are going to say something to make themselves look bad. That they will give something to the spin-doctors.
This kid sounds like he has the gift of a silver tongue. He seems to have said all the right things so far.
I hope he can keep it up.

Have you guys read any of the posted messages on that site? In my opinion, he HAS said all of the right things, and I relate to him a lot, but it looks like he's not being taken seriously by a lot of people. Some think he's doing this for attention! (Some were even stupid enough to imply that he's doing this because it's easier than studying.) Doug Anglin makes a good point, but I fear that he won't be taken seriously by enough people to make an impact. And then, when the ordeal is over, he'll be ridiculed at school and his life will become even harder. If it sounds like I'm speaking from experience, it's because I am. If I sound jaded, it's because I am.
Am I not just the brightest ray of sunshine you've ever seen?

Why is it such a "far-fetched" proposal that students should be given for sports, especially if art and drama courses are credit courses? People in the drama department stay long hours after school working on set design, choreography, or just plain rehearsing. Everything worth learning from drama can be gained just as (or more) effectively from sports. Sports teach teamwork, sportsmanship, and hard work. Sometimes, practice can be physical Hell (no, I'm not exaggerating) and its unfair that no credit is awarded to that.

Yes, but sports teaches "violence against women".
Well, that's what the feminists say. And of course if a feminist says it it MUST be true.(Sarcasm, of course)
I can never understand how a game like football, for instance, where you are "attacking" and tackling OTHER MEN, promotes violence against WOMEN!(???)
But then, I'm not rational like a feminist. (sarcasm, again, of course)

Another reason high school credits should be awrarded to students who play sports: the United States is the fattest country in the world. Giving credits for sports players would encourage more people to play and get into shape. I feel passionately about this because I was forced to quit track due to the fact that by grades were starting to drop from mid 80's to high 70's. And of course, since track gives no high school credits, I had to abandon my body and let it waste away as I buried myself in books once more.

true, becoming highly proficient in a sport takes a lot of effort and sacrifices.
if sports aren't worth giving credits to, then arts and drama shouldn't either.
sure, they teach you some qualities and skills but the activity itself isn't anymore productive than football or baseball.
being highly skilled at either arts or sports however takes serious dedication.
also kinda of like jesus said. something along the lines of "you can't serve two masters".

How long has it been since anyone has seen "anything" like this in the press? Thankfully the Young Man has a lawyer for a Father, hence his silver tongue. What a tough position for this Young Man to take, and he is even getting support from the Pres. of the student body, a Female. Boston once had a tea party, perhaps they will start a reorganization party as well, I sure as hell hope so!

All the people in this forum ( mostly female i can tell) is disagreeing this boy's action. Look at their Argument against it, IT IS ALL TOTAL BULLSHIT!!
The road to equality is full of Despair and Darkness, as it always be.

Perhaps MANN should post an appropriate address whereby we at this site could send letters. Yes, old fashioned snail mail, still hits hardest due to hard copy. Your comment made me think. I for one would send a letter, perhaps we could challenge everyone else to do the same? "It is a good day to die!"

It's ridiculous to complain when you're being told to stay in your seat and behave, if everyone is being told that. He should focus more on where girls and boys are treated DIFFERENTLY: for example, if girls are allowed to wander the halls without a pass while boys are punished if they do the same. He'll need to include times in which teachers bent over backwards to ignore the male students so that they could call on a girl.
Men are from EARTH. Women are from EARTH. Deal with it.

It is time for MRA's to be effective. VAWA II has been lost. Time to do reform through lawsuits like the feminasty's have done.
Lets set up a support page and provide support by offering this family information to help fight the good fight.

Someone should post the address of the school, and the state legislature of MA where this is happening. Then all of the posters on this site could send snail mail to both in "support" of this young Man and his Father. No ranting, no threats, just down to earth support. Maybe we might get some media attention, maybe we could do the same as the feminazis? Use public pressure to exact some form of EQUALITY? Just a thought Folks!
