Title IX in science: Quotas for men?

You start eliminating men, as has been done in sports. And men are usually our best technical minds.

Shouldn't we also have quotas in nursing and education, where the gender disparity is even larger (but in the opposite direction)? But can't do that. That would be unfair to women.

These articles about quotas in employment fields are really scary. It sounds like it is going to start in the school systems. Women will get pushed into fields they do not like, men will not get into their desired fields and consumers with suffer because the person with the most skill and desire for the type of work, will have been substituted to make room for female quotas. This is bad for everyone including the consumer.

This is very much in line with Marc Tuckers take-over of the educational system which involves steering students into certain fields by controlling the public educational system. He wrote a letter to Hillary Clinton, now famously referred to as the "Dear Hillary Letter" (at the time the letter was written, they both served on the National Center of Education and Economy and Bill Clinton had just won the election for president). In this letter students are referred to as "human capital".

The old saying holds true when you consider our educational system: "The hand that rocks the cradle, rules the world"

From the article:

"It’s hard to believe colleges will be forced to turn away aspiring male engineers because not enough young women could be lured into the field. But perhaps they’ll create new “pink” engineering courses with more talk and less math to create a faux gender balance. "

The thought of feminizing math/science education is already happening. My state implemented a math curriculum that contains a world atlas and travel guide and very few numeric problems. Group problem solving is now part of this new math and more points are given for written explanation vs correct answer. This curricula also matches up to our state math test (the "standardized" test that all students must pass to graduate). For the first time ever girls are scoring higher on the state math test (wasn't so, when we used the good ol' traditional standardized math test known as the Iowa Test of Basic Skills -the ITBS is given all over the country, but no longer in my state since the results were conflicting with the new test).

Anyway, my state superintendent patted herself on the back for the rise of high school girl's math scores, however, colleges were saying that there was now more students entering college unprepared for college level math (you see the feminized math they were learning in high school did not prepare them for real math required for college). My state superintendent's solution was to now feminize college math!

Meanwhile, other countries will kick our ass in STEM fields while we dick around trying to recruit females into these professions.
