0:00.0 | Imagine a school where boys can be boys. Heck, imagine a school where there is such a thing. |
0:07.5 | I'm Scott Aweiddle with Bill Whittle and Stephen Green and this episode of Right Angles brought to you by the members at |
0:12.5 | Bill Whittle.com and gentlemen, not only is there a place where they know what a boy is, but there are some |
