Summary

The Schools War On Boys must be stopped. Boys are naturally energetic. They are naturally rambunctious. They love physical and rough play. Boys love to be outdoors. They love running and can run, and run, and run, and run all day long. But this energy is hated by the schools. Schools want passive students. They force boys to sit in chairs for hours. They force boys to listen to a (female) teacher talk on and on and on and on; day after day after day after day. Some boys adapt. They become weak "pleasers". Others resist and are labeled hyperactive, ADHD, learning disabled, oppositional defiant... or some other psychobabble disorder. In the USA, many are now being drugged. This is child abuse.
