Gender Politics and Young Children

Cathy Young wrote an excellent article for Reason magazine about the current "gender warfare" going on about socializing children. She begins by discussing Jane Fonda's recent donation to Harvard for a program on gender studies, and does a balanced job reporting the current trends and how this field is being applied to children. "It's clear that the proposed interdisciplinary Center on Gender and Education will pursue not only academic research but also a social agenda...Maybe the real danger is that, in these ideological gender wars, the needs of children of both sexes will take a back seat to scoring points in the debate."
