Did you ever read secure oh boy who was suspended from school it's over for Merrill reporting his finger and saying wow.

Pretty draconian punishment for a kid it was just being a kid.

The Chavez was a labor secretary nominee -- is also the mother of three boys she thinks these kinds of reactions helping.

Part.

The problem is we've sort of them -- -- schools little boy is their normal behavior.

Is outside the realm of what a lot of schools want to see.

And frankly I think it's really -- problem because what you're doing -- teaching the wrong lesson.

-- teaching that simple child's play is somehow.

Aggressive and also we think there's a problem that we somehow think we can socialize children into being different beings than they are.

I finish this school this was -- in a period of -- days after Newtown but still I'm Lesley she's got a very report.

-- was making -- athletic events has been tied.

Because you don't want somebody to win but he thing.

Think she's -- on the cell where where it was was supplying America she says were federalizing the schools -- with just that there's no winner there's no loser there's no gender -- I am not sure I don't but -- cultural slide in America can starts at the school level continues.

Throughout.

-- -- -- I don't remember the last kick -- I am -- friends to -- there.

Her kid goes to an elementary school in Washington DC they got the letter over Thanksgiving saying that they weren't going to do Thanksgiving anymore because it was hurtful to the native -- And that so one of the things that they were going to do -- they are halting any cowboys and Indians play out on the playground no -- was allowed to do that anymore.

-- I want to say is I believe.

That if it was a little girl.

You had made that gesture and said how she would not -- you would not have been such an -- to grow up and that -- zero tolerance policy but I don't know if it's equal gender is limited is working group -- and you don't wears it well aware that all the time election because I -- I completely agree with you.

There was a report I think is in 1990 that said that women were being short changed particularly young girls in school.

So there was this over compensation with little girls now you see little girls graduating -- proportionally from college they're getting higher test scores.

Little boys are being diagnosed learning disorders like eighty -- more than boys so I think it's the young boys you're right Bob that are getting left behind.

But just in society it's being catered to women women are the ones -- -- buying products the movies we go from Charlton Heston to Seth rose again.

The whole culture is being feminized in my opinion.

But -- -- I totally agree I I see in the schools I seed in round his classes and -- let boys be boys they wanna play -- on China over many Kate then and you know turn adamant about their boys there's differences in the genders embrace and celebrate and don't try and feet and -- I'm happy to see.

You didn't match -- if you watch golden gloves last night if you watched the red carpet leading up to and called up.

I don't think there's a man left in Hollywood I think every one of those guys and guys then sit up on that guy can't just do it that they've all been just -- -- -- -- -- -- Really we went from Bruce Willis to Jonah Hill particularly -- exactly that you know waiting to watch if you wanna -- -- let the American country granted but you go -- -- -- -- statement I'm reading lab.
