Although gender is only one dimension of identity, it's society's prime organizing principle for beliefs and values. In fact, most schools offer Women's Studies courses to give students a gender-based lens to look at the world.

But what about men? What is their source of identity? What would a school look like if gender were the overriding principle? Two Catholic schools are exploring the concept. They believe that many of the world's woes are based on male self-esteem issues--violence, binge-drinking, drugs and deadly shootings at high schools.
