    For me, equality means giving everyone an equal shot at success, regardless of gender. Allowing both sexes to choose what they want to do and to help achieve it. It's very interesting how, in Ms. Karen Keller's eyes, the logical solution is actually to retard the development of the males in her kindergarten class by banning them from ever playing with toys that aid children develop math and overall thinking skills as a means of achieving gender equality.

    Parents, be concerned about your son's school teachers.

    In that case I invite you to use the ignore feature. It is right there, free at your disposal, at any time of day. ;)

    LOL....That's my boy!

    But otherwise, that is a pretty screwed up perspective the teacher has and I'm sure she will be called to account for it at least by some parents, I would hope.

    Seriously, what is it about this place that attracts them?

    OP said the other day women werent capable of having virtues like honestly, loyalty, honor, duty

    So i just dont really get how his agenda is better than that of a radical feminist.

    And thats how it usually goes with these anti feminist, male rights guys..they feign outrage like the biggest threat to the modern world is women who think they are better than men.

    But..... they feel the exact same way, they're not concerned with equality anymore than this teacher is.

    Ugh, it just annoys me

    We originated the perception of gender differentiation why can't we accept the consequences?

    Obviously you see things that way because our sexist, matriarchal society has programmed you to favor women over men

    to be fair, i think pretty much every boy ever has several thousand lego pieces at home, so it's not like they NEVER get to play with them.

    Haha. Nope that's not what I said. Never said that's what I definitively believed. I was playing devil's advocate to a comment made by another user. Merely entertaining the idea.

    I'd be funny if all this teacher really generated in these boy was an even greater desire to play with legos when they got home, an obsession. It's the teacher's attitude that is more frightening than anything really. "When hell freezes over." I mean, if this is how she treats her male students one wonders what she may be doing/might do to her own sons.

    Pretty sure playing devil's advocate means you disagree with someone in order to challenge their thinking, not agree with them lol. But okie doke!

    You can say I was playing devil's advocate against myself. :p

    All in all, I wanted the idea challenged.
