Channel 10 reports that a Melbourne school has introduced a scheme for bullies: compulsory dancing. Boys who are prone to bullying are forced to wear leotards and participate in ballet dancing classes.

This is almost on par with the early 1990s idiocy some schools in California, where boys were forced to wear dresses.

Let's review history to see how we have ended up here:

  • Gough (i-never-did-anything-wrong) Whitlam set up the Family Law Court in 1975. This was a new branch of law which was was immune from public scrutiny and accountable to no-one, except themselves.

  • Carefully crafted 'non-gender specific' legislation ensured that a) custody of children would automatically be given to the mother, and b) women could not be forced to allow their children access to their fathers.

  • Generous 'single parent's welfare', and compulsory child support ensured that there were no shortage of women volunteering for this victim role.

  • As a result a generation of men were raised by their mothers. [Argue about the use of the word 'generation' if you want, but if 13% of part-aborigines constitutes a 'stolen generation' ..]

  • Feminist hysteria about child molestation forced or scared male teachers out of the teaching profession.

  • The female dominated teaching profession, helped along by feminist hysteria about rights for girls gradually feminized the school curricula, to the point where girls now outperform boys in every subject. Of course when boys outperformed girls it was proof of discrimination, but when girls outperformed boys it was because of their natural abilities in concentration and reason.

The result? A generation of boys alienated by a school system which they regard as irrelevant to them, raised by their mothers with no strong male role-models except for older boys in gangs. Ie - bullies.

And the feminist-school-curriculum solution? Ballet classes for the boys! Maybe if they just give all the boys female hormones and make them act more like girls they will get the behavior they want?

Not that there is anything wrong with boys doing ballet, but forcing them to do it is the worst solution. Ultimately boys want to be like the strong male role-models they see around them - fathers, or responsible male teachers. They might line up for the TV cameras and say how great ballet is - this is their sound-byte of fame, but trying to forcibly feminize them will ultimately just create alienation and anger.

Of course the perpetrators of this perverse little scheme have nothing but praise for it. 'We have turned bullies into Billy Elliots', 'they have greater confidence', 'they have a greater awareness of their own bodies'.

Doubtless estrogen treatment would also elicit the same defenses from these feminists. And at $20,000 per school, there are some nice little kickbacks for them too.
