Proposal to draft all young men

In this op-ed to the Denver Post, Rick O'Donnell, executive director of the Colorado Department of Regulatory Agencies, proposes that all boys be removed from high school after the first semester of 12th grade and forced into homeland security, the armed forces, or community service. He justifies this with a quote from a Colorado legislator who asked, "If more than 25 percent of Colorado men drop out before the 12th grade, and for those who remain it is a blow-off year, why are we paying for it?"

According to this despiser of boys, all boys leave school before or blow off the 12th grade.

Girls, of course, would be allowed to continue their educations.
