Yes, that same situation was about the time as the push to End school recess (for BOYS), and to Start the age of rage for Ritalin, aimed at the boys. (A sterilizer, I read.)
By 1980, the above “socialization” against all things testosterone, actually was well underway in Education Departments—Even in the mid-West states—in universities.
Teaching-students were assigned to review books for the elementary grades and to take note of wherever the word, Girl, could replace the word, Boy, in a sentence.
The scene or activity would also be replaced, from one of generally masculine to a feminine one.
I recall a dean explaining that California sets the standards for the nation to implement and follow within in ten years! Gulp.
(Communists as a Rule are patient and then universally devisive, patiently.)
By 1988, in one example, school boards were well into denigrating football in favor of anything but! This, even in conservative districts of Texas!
Well you can only guess the reaction by football booster club parents. The new Superintendent behind it all was eventually dispatched.
Oddly, “she” landed elsewhere.
Columbine, Colorado.
Ring a bell?
It’s unfair to implicate anyone by association with a scene if a tragic event. It’s a data point as they say.
And, so is a bias-against-boys a data point. A trail of it has been normalized.
Time to stick thy fork in it.😇
It took Trump staying on overload and rapid fire, to remind us who we used to be, and figure out IF we want to be again.
Or else, maybe not. Maybe never.
Thx for your reply.

Well said.
Yes, the War on Boys has been so destructive.
