I'm finally starting to see some motion on this issue, it's too bad it took a generation of damage to boys to get to this point. The article seems pretty even handed. It mentions nay-sayers who claim changes to the "Gender Equity Framework" will make education "boy-centric" again, and it points out that those people feel the current system is balanced (that's a laugh). It then mentions that these changes were made because parents and teachers feel the current system is NOT balanced. You know immediately where the nay-sayers are coming from - a rad-fem point of view where you only have "balance" when the programs benefit girls at the expense of boys.
