Editor:

[Diversity among Santa Monica-Malibu school employees](http://www.smdp.com/school-board-examines-demographic-makeup-district-employees/152381) should also include additional male teachers. If 50 percent of the school population is male, then 50 percent of teachers should be as well.

The feminization of our schools is not healthy for young boys who tend to learn in a far different manner than girls (sorry to generalize).

My son didn't get a good education due to being forced to sit for long spells, quietly. Have you ever seen a 7-year-old boy do so? My daughter thrived in that environment.

So, how about those male role models, SMMUSD?
