Title IX Commentary

A good commentary on Title IX and the needs that still remain. http://www.edweek.org/ew/articles/2012/06/13/35graves.h31.html?tkn=YVNF50NuNfP%2BIBZ04Op%2FlqTIHE7ffYbybJBZ&cmp=ENL-EU-VIEWS1

The other day my Google Alert provided me with a link to a report titled "Women in America" that was published by the White House.  After a couple of clicks I discover that there is actually a White House Council on Women and Girls.  Terrific.  I then do a search of the White House page to find the White House Council on Men and Boys.  Nope, doesn't exist.

So in this day and age of post Title IX, how can we have a White House Council for Women and Girls without a Council on Men and Boys.  Is it that the country is trying to bring equity and parity among women and men?  Reading lots of news reports today though we find that women and girls are in fact out performing men and boys in lots of areas.

Do we need a White House Council on Men and Boys?  If so, what would that look like?  What would they need to focus on?  If not, why not?
