Extra: The "Boys Crisis" | Why Boys Are Falling Behind in School
More than 50 years ago, Title IX was passed to address the gap in college degrees earned by women. Today, the script has flipped—and attention is turning to why boys are falling behind in school, as well as in the workforce and later in life.

The conversation was too long for our regular midweek podcast, so on today’s FOX News Rundown Extra, we are releasing the full interview, diving even deeper into the root causes behind lower GPAs and higher dropout rates for boys, and what can be done to reverse the trend.
