Why boys need their own activities

The great thing about the internet is that it can be very easy to find comments from those who can express my own sentiments with words much superior to my own.

Such a writer is Anthony Esolen, English professor at Providence College in Rhode Island, who also writes for Touchstone Magazine. In an article at the Catholic Education Resource Center, he writes about the benefits of single sex programs for adolescent boys. He laments the fact that so many of these types of programs have disappeared over the years in the name of "equal access."

He writes, "That some things needn't have been the sole preserve of boys never meant that nothing at all need have been. What do we call it when people who merely want something take it away from or spoil it for those who need it?"
