Imagine..

   [1]Ann Althouse quotes from a great letter to the NYT, visualizing a
   school that favors boys instead of girls.

   [2]Rosemary Esmay would have liked a school like that. So would Ann.
   So would I. It's not clear that schools totally favor girls, but it is
   clear that schools favor passivity.

   Speaking of institutions that favor passivity, imagine a religion that
   gives you:

     ..extra credit for resisting authority.. having points deducted for
     being compliant with arbitrary rules and meaningless deadlines.

   Some things you can only imagine...
