So, how do you fix the problem? You stop making it an easy target. We do that by implementing limited entry points, metal detectors, and armed veterans in the school system. CONCEALED CARRYING SCHOOL TEACHERS I would also suggest we consider allowing qualified school teachers to carry firearms – not forcing them to but allowing them to. Now, as I said, I didn't want to make this a gun debate. That's not what it's about, but I think those are four straightforward solutions that we can implement reasonably quickly that would alleviate a lot of the problems that we see. Now that we have that out of the way let's drill down a little bit. Young boys are the ones who are creating these problems. They're the ones in the school shootings. They're the ones doing the shot. And, if you look at the way that we have begun to treat our boys, I think it becomes very apparent that there are some real problems in the way that we address our boys in the school system. First, the school system is stacked against young men. If you take a look at any metric – from crime and violence to grades and drop out rates – you see that boys are falling behind. That's partly because the school system is not conducive to teaching boys the way that they need to be shown. Surprise, surprise, there’s a difference between the way boys and girls learn information, consume information, and get ideas about the way this world works. Couple that with another problem I see, the drug epidemic with children. And, I’m not talking about illegal drugs either. I’m talking about the way we medicate our boys. Our boys get a little rambunctious, a little rowdy, a little upset, they fight, they compete, they do the things that boys do, and rather than say, “this is healthy behavior for a boy,” they say it’s unhealthy and begin to medicate them. We were at the park last night with my boys and my daughter. One of my came up to me to show me a stick he found looked like a gun. He’s said, “Dad, look, I found this stick. It’s my gun.” Then he picked a handful of wood chips and said, “These are my bullets.” From there, he ran around “shooting” his brother and sister with his gun and his bullets. If he did that at school, he would be suspended, if not expelled, from school. And yet, that's utterly healthy behavior. There's nothing wrong with a boy playing Cowboys and Indians. There's nothing wrong with a boy who wants to pretend that he's shooting the bad guy. There's entirely nothing wrong with that. There's nothing wrong with a young boy drawing a picture of a violent war scene. Why? Because that's the way, they engage. That's the way that they create. When those behaviors are channeled into the proper outlets, they become the skill set and the characteristics for boys who will eventually become men who protect, provide, and preside.
If we strip that away from them and pretend there's something wrong with them, we're going to see some real problems. We are experiencing the real issues from over medicating our young men now. It's horrific. Instead of medicating our boys (and I’m not saying that there aren’t boys who need medication) for ADD and ADHD, why not create a system in which boys can learn the way they learn, through experiential learning? Let them go out and roll around in the dirt, hike, pick up bugs, explore rocks, and do the things that we as boys always wanted to do. If we strip that away, we see these problems. The next issue here (and this is going to be the meat of the conversation today) is fatherless homes. As I was researching this topic, I started looking into some of the data. What I found is crazy. The ramifications and impact on our young men of not having permanent father figures in their lives are scary. I grew up without a permanent father figure. I get messages every day from men who listen to our podcast and read our articles that grew up without a father figure. This statistic is getting worse. More boys are being born out of wedlock. Dad is physical, mentally, and emotionally out of the picture. And, now, we have more boys who have this raw masculinity coursing through their veins, and yet they have no example of how to harness that masculinity into something that's called "manliness" that will help the world. I look at my boys, and by their very nature, they're destructive. They go outside, and they destroy stuff. It's my job as a father to harness that and teach them how to use that constructively. Rather than be destructive, it’s my job to help them to be constructive – help them to build things, help them to lift other people up, help them to use that creativity and that imagination in a way that’s going to benefit their lives and the lives of the people that eventually they’ll have a responsibility for. They don’t get that when a father is not in the picture. Take a look at some of the problems that are magnified when dad is not around: Poverty Behavioral issues
