The Libertarian Snakebite Kit - Day

The article 'Men cleverer than women' claim, states that "[a] study to be published later this year in the British Journal of Psychology says that men are on average five points ahead on IQ tests."

Hell, in the city I live, the public high school students are given time off from "education" to provide "community service" as a required part of the student's graduation requirements. Since when is "community service" a part of "education"?
