These kids are not being properly counted. I think the state of Washington has undeserved egg on its face.

I can't see how public institutions can defend that as serving the public interest. It denies the talent and the ambition of kids who are born into less-fortunate circumstances.

It's as much a women's issue as a man's issue.

Most women have men in their lives, and if those males are floundering in some way — if they are laid off at the factory or the son is acting out in school — it's upsetting.
