From Fox News: Former President Barack Obama called out progressives on Wednesday for their “mistake” of constantly talking about what boys are doing wrong, rather than talking about what they are doing right.
Appearing as a guest on the “IMO” podcast, which is co-hosted by his wife, former First Lady Michelle Obama, and her brother Craig Robinson, the former president argued that the “mistake” occurred because progressives were hyper-focused on ensuring there is a “level playing field” for girls, which has led to boys’ flaws being put under a microscope.
“I will say, as quote-unquote progressives, Democrats, progressive parents, enlightened ones, we’ve made that mistake sometimes in terms of our rhetoric, where it’s like we’re constantly talking about it, you know, what’s going on with the boys instead of what’s right with them,” he stated.
“We rightly have tried to invest in girls to make sure that there’s a level playing field, and they’re not barred from opportunities. But we haven’t been as willing, I think, to be intentional about investing in the boys. And that’s been a mistake,” Obama admitted.
