UK: Howell's School to accept boys

Submitted by anthony on Mon, 2007-07-09 16:31

Story here.

Is it me, or is the United Kingdom leading the way regarding the improvement of boys educational needs? In this case, equality in the enrollment process. Excerpt:

'HOWELL'S private preparatory school, in Denbigh, has announced that it will start accepting boys.

From September this year the prep school will be fully co-educational but it is very unlikely that this will ever be the case for the senior school.
...
"School Principal Rachael Hodgson, who joined the school last summer from a co-educational background, believes that the boys will add to the 'Howell's experience', whilst benefiting greatly from it themselves."

"The nursery, has been mixed from its inception; I am so pleased that we will no longer have to say goodbye to our boys. I am delighted that the splendid facilities will be used even more."'

I don't remember the name of the girl's college in the states that integrated not too long ago, but the article was a bit more hostile to the change. There were protests and girls laying on the ground in defiance and bitching and moaning. This article seems to see it as a positive thing, however there are no mention of the reactions of the current students. I wonder how much further down the road are our British neighbors in ridding hypocracy?

Yeah, that wouldn't exactly discourage the boys would it?

I think it was somewhere in Virginia. The girls at that college were really having a fit, laying on the ground and carrying on like Linda Blair from The Exorcist with a severe case of PMS. I even think they said something about having been betrayed by the school because of the decision to allow boys in the college -- well, it was somewhere along those lines. If I lived there I wouldn't have even deliberated enrolling in that college considering that it is infested with a vicious swarm of male-haters ... or maybe I would have just to spite them. I don't know. I DO know that their venomous protest would have given me the incentive to demand the instituting of a male-only college and DARE anyone to object to it!

It's good to see the U.K. making changes in boys' education, though the issue of boys' education here in the States remains quite dismal. I'm truly happy for the boys there, and I extol Rachael Hodgson for her elated beatification in regard to the decision to allow boys into their school. I respect her for that. She is an honorable woman -- a TRUE women. Perhaps women should take a lesson from her. If women followed her example, this severance between men and women would not exist.

And I remember it was worded as a 40's or 50's article would write it if women were "White" and men were "Black."

BTW: I'm against the Captcha image too. It took me 5 tries to actually get it right, but I got the image eventually.

Not women. I would be considered a "double nigger" since I am both male and black. Help....me....please...
