Pretty good piece.

This certainly explains the behavior of my junior high principal (never mind the teachers).

Pretty much Poppycock.

Female jurors are significantly more likely to acquit violent criminals. Only a few decades ago, most states sensibly did not permit women to serve on murder juries. Since this has changed, the degree of violent crime in America and Europe has gone from "almost none" to "off the charts".

Hello, Mary Winkler jury.

“Liberals are tremendously attached to the idea that we are apes, but are unwilling to face the fact that we humans still retain an awful lot of our ape programming. This is what led to the Christian concept of Original Sin and the Jewish concept that we are all born with both the urge to good and the urge to evil.”

So our ape programming is what led to the biblical concept of original sin? I stopped reading this poorly written article right there.

Stopped reading at sentence 2 . . . where the writer says that our “ape programming” explains the “concept of original sin” . . . 1) Stupid idea even on its own terms (what of cultures without the concept of original sin?) 2) Rejects God and the Bible out of hand.

The rot started with Jean-Jacques Rousseau.

How do the Nuns that terrorized the bullies at the Catholic run orphanages and schools of my youth fit into this theory?

To this very day, when I see an angry nun, I sit or stand up straighter, nervously check my zipper to make sure it’s up, and hope my hair is neatly combed.

And sneak away as quietly as possible.

You know, I have been a Freeper way longer than I have been a teacher, but I must say that as a teacher, I'm growing a little frustrated with some Freepers. For months I've been reading outraged postings about teachers and school districts who crack down on boys who sexually harrass girls because they are too young to know better and we are criminalizing them. Now comes this piece claiming we do nothing about it? Pick a lane and drive:

Either teachers are waging war against conservative values by attempting to eradicate natural masulinity, and that's why our schools are no good, or we are caving to brute masculinity, and that's why our schools are no good. But I do not see how it can be both.

I don’t agree with the “ape stuff”, but it does explain a lot of what I’ve seen in the classroom. Females absolutely DO behave this way in a classroom setting. I have seen it over and over.

What a steaming pile of horse excrement. My mother is a teacher. She discourages violence and has broken up more fights in the hallway than most of you have even witnessed. I dare say she’s more effective at keeping kids from fighting than anyone I’ve ever seen, male or female.

A wise old teacher once said,

“Never hit a child in anger, in front of witnesses.”
