The biggest contributor to this attitude is that although the Bahamas is a matriarchal society (as far as who is "in charge" of the upbringing of our children, it is the women who treat boys differently in a way that suggests they are superior than their female counterparts. The way they cater to their sons and accept the irresponsible behaviour many exhibit makes it quite understandable that these students have the mentality they do. Women continue to be our own worse advocates and supporters and until we stop the ish and raise our sons to be respectful of ALL people, treat them with the same level of expectation and admonition as we do our daughters, then hold them accountable for their actions, we will have more of the same.
OK - that was a poorly shot video - and, did I see ppl standing on the flag of the Bahamas??? Really. But congrats on the Guiness record thing, I think!!!!
