1 00:00:00,680 --> 00:00:04,160 Speaker 1: New Jersey and Amanda gam Nation. You may have seen 2 00:00:04,160 --> 00:00:05,520 Speaker 1: this on the news last night, and this is a 3 00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:10,160 Speaker 1: story we spoke about last year. Newington an elite private 4 00:00:10,200 --> 00:00:12,720 Speaker 1: boys school which is situated in the Cydney suburb of 5 00:00:12,720 --> 00:00:16,400 Speaker 1: stand More. It costs for a year twelve student to 6 00:00:16,440 --> 00:00:18,200 Speaker 1: go through you twelve boy, it costs about forty two 7 00:00:18,320 --> 00:00:21,840 Speaker 1: thousand dollars a year post tax dollars. It's incredible, isn't it. 8 00:00:22,200 --> 00:00:25,240 Speaker 1: Private schools are very expensive. This has always been a boys' school, 9 00:00:25,239 --> 00:00:27,639 Speaker 1: but they are making moves to make it co ed. 10 00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:30,480 Speaker 1: So this is what they're saying, is that maybe as 11 00:00:30,480 --> 00:00:34,000 Speaker 1: early as twenty twenty six, girls will be admitted to 12 00:00:34,040 --> 00:00:36,960 Speaker 1: the school. A number of parents were protesting outside the 13 00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:40,519 Speaker 1: school yesterday. I'm just afraid that it's all part of 14 00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:45,520 Speaker 1: this sort of woke, toxic masculinity type plava that will pass. 15 00:00:45,560 --> 00:00:48,840 Speaker 1: I love the opportunity's school provides, and I would hate 16 00:00:48,880 --> 00:00:52,000 Speaker 1: to say other boys be stripped of out opportunity. Basically, 17 00:00:52,080 --> 00:00:54,680 Speaker 1: they've been setting the parents a lie for many years. 18 00:00:55,280 --> 00:00:58,920 Speaker 1: I tend to agree you go to a boys school 19 00:00:59,520 --> 00:01:01,880 Speaker 1: and some boy school, but these are the times we 20 00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,319 Speaker 1: live in. It happened to the Scouts. They let girls 21 00:01:04,319 --> 00:01:07,240 Speaker 1: get into the Scouts. Did they wreck it Brendan, I 22 00:01:07,319 --> 00:01:11,760 Speaker 1: don't know, But then vice versa, would boys be allowed 23 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:14,240 Speaker 1: to go into the girl Guides. I have two sons 24 00:01:14,240 --> 00:01:16,960 Speaker 1: who did go to private school, went to boys only schools. 25 00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:20,240 Speaker 1: I wish that there were more private co ed schools. 26 00:01:20,319 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 1: I would have liked to co ed school for them, 27 00:01:22,600 --> 00:01:25,520 Speaker 1: but they loved their experience. So I see this through 28 00:01:25,560 --> 00:01:28,640 Speaker 1: a different lens as well, through the boys' eyes. Is 29 00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:32,960 Speaker 1: that I think co education is the best thing, and 30 00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:37,280 Speaker 1: the research shows that boys and girls both aren't affected 31 00:01:37,280 --> 00:01:39,640 Speaker 1: when it's co ed. There were early studies that said 32 00:01:39,640 --> 00:01:41,720 Speaker 1: that girls didn't go as well in maths and things 33 00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:43,600 Speaker 1: like that are in sport, but by the time you're 34 00:01:43,600 --> 00:01:45,759 Speaker 1: in senior school, it's from what I can read here, 35 00:01:45,920 --> 00:01:49,760 Speaker 1: it's pretty much aligned. The experiences are the same. But 36 00:01:51,200 --> 00:01:55,000 Speaker 1: why aren't girls' schools being pressured to take in boys. 37 00:01:55,600 --> 00:01:58,160 Speaker 1: This has happened to Cranbrook, it's now happening at Newington 38 00:01:58,400 --> 00:02:01,200 Speaker 1: and co ed now they're about to become co ed. 39 00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:02,760 Speaker 1: They've done a lot of work to become co ed 40 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:04,440 Speaker 1: and the same sort of thing. There are number of 41 00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:06,120 Speaker 1: parents who said I've signed up my son to have 42 00:02:06,120 --> 00:02:09,280 Speaker 1: a single sex education. There have been problems at private 43 00:02:09,280 --> 00:02:11,200 Speaker 1: boys schools. This is what this is about. That thing 44 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:14,480 Speaker 1: about toxic masculinity is about let's try and chip down 45 00:02:14,520 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 1: the sense of entitlement for young men. I understand all 46 00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:20,680 Speaker 1: of that, but why are girls allowed to keep their 47 00:02:20,840 --> 00:02:24,080 Speaker 1: single sex culture? And boys are the ones being pressured 48 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,359 Speaker 1: to change? I, as I said, think co ed is best, 49 00:02:27,600 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 1: but I can kind of understand even though parents sound 50 00:02:30,520 --> 00:02:33,760 Speaker 1: old fashioned saying I want a single sex education for 51 00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:36,880 Speaker 1: my son, why aren't the girls schools being pressured the 52 00:02:36,880 --> 00:02:39,079 Speaker 1: same way? And I must say, when I watched the 53 00:02:39,160 --> 00:02:42,320 Speaker 1: news last night, I lost all sympathy for the argument 54 00:02:42,320 --> 00:02:44,280 Speaker 1: when I heard this guy. I'm an old boy the school, 55 00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:46,680 Speaker 1: and my son is also an old boy. And the 56 00:02:46,680 --> 00:02:50,000 Speaker 1: intention was always that I'd have a grandson. But I 57 00:02:50,040 --> 00:02:52,359 Speaker 1: won't bring it to a co ed school. How if 58 00:02:52,360 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 1: the worst thing in your world is that your grandson 59 00:02:54,240 --> 00:02:57,399 Speaker 1: may be sitting alongside some girls at school. Dude, we're 60 00:02:57,400 --> 00:02:59,440 Speaker 1: on the brink of World War three. Read the World 61 00:02:59,560 --> 00:03:00,679 Speaker 1: Game and
