Extra: The "Boys Crisis" | Why Boys Are Falling Behind in School Aug 09, 2026

Show notes

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.

Recently on The FOX News Rundown, guest host Lucas Tomlinson spoke with Richard Reeves, President of the American Institute for Boys and Men, to examine what he calls a "boys crisis"—explaining why girls are outperforming boys in school and how those classroom struggles have a long-term impact on men's careers, earning potential, and marriage rates.

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.
