This we think we know: American schools favor boys
and grind down girls. The truth is the very opposite. By virtually every
measure, girls are thriving in school; it is boys who are the second
sex.
It's a bad time to be a boy in America. The triumphant victory of the
U.S. women's soccer team at the World Cup last summer has come to
symbolize the spirit of American girls. The shooting at Columbine High
last spring might be said to symbolize the spirit of American boys.
