The number of Graduating girls continues to surpass the number of graduating guys.  Since 1990 the number of women receiving degrees has surpassed the number of men, and every year this gap widens. While the guys are staying home playing their X-boxes and mastering the World of Warcraft, girls are getting degrees and mastering the world of business. What this means is more men’s knitting circles, more women CEOs. More women doctors and more men learning to express their feelings and obey their wives.

    “Instead of helping, we’re tearing down camps, bulldozing lives, and offering no place for these people to go,” Pendergrast says.
    Read on to find out why Utah’s war on homelessness is making things worse, and what needs to happen next.
