Buck, an adoptive mother herself, had a wide impact upon the culture through her writing, and many people in the United States were introduced to the idea of transracial adoption through her outspokenness on the subject.įollowing our nation’s Civil Rights Movement, there was a change in transracial adoptions of black children into white homes: As integration increased so did the number of transracial adoptions. Buck began an adoption agency focused on placing children through transracial and/or intercountry adoptive placement. The following year, novelist and winner of the Pulitzer and Nobel prizes Pearl S. In 1948, white parents in Minnesota adopted a black child and were the first recorded transracial adoption in the United States.

I blame the media.This article, written by Alexis Oberdorfer, MSW, Executive Director of CH/LSS, was originally published by National Council for Adoptable Children (NCFA) How it has come to a point, shamefully I might add, that decent Pakistani men are also in need of a finishing school to hone their manliness skills is a question well worth asking. In order to extinguish any feelings of emotion the men will be required to stoically watch cricket matches of Pakistan losing to India …on repeat. Therapy will be provided to all the scholars to ensure that any emotional feelings are quickly suppressed, killed, disposed off and preferably drowned.Ī Pakistani man is expected to have the emotional sensitivity of a brick wall. But with proper training at a finishing school, one can be confident that a man can be trained to pay attention to his partner for a prolonged period of time whilst watching a hearty game of cricket … or playing brick breaker. Women tend to have a terrific propensity to multi-task, men tend to fall short in that respect. The purpose of basket ball training is to assist men in their efforts to toss their dirty clothes directly into their laundry hamper rather than on the floor which is a major sore point with most wives.

Increasing a man’s proficiency with wooden sticks is as important as knowing how to utilise one’s body strength. A men’s finishing school would seek to address the situation by putting its participants through a strenuous physical regimen of cricket, kabaddi, basket ball and hockey. In an age of video games, computer games and board games, Pakistan’s sports heritage is slowly being lost. This will additionally serve as a diet, to help the traditional Pakistani male become the lean, mean, conquering machine he was meant to be. A men’s finishing school would ensure that the students’ diet consist of nothing but the worst possible food this will help the guys develop an appreciation for their wife’s culinary efforts, no matter how bad they are. It has been often noted that a man is fairly partial to his mother’s cooking and tends to not appreciate his wife’s cooking with the same fervour. There will also be in-depth training into the mysteries of Facebook stalking and how to harass girls with messages of love, honour and lassi. No Pakistani male is really complete without honing substantive skills in the seduction of women being taught how to pronounce ‘franship’, solid and tight are just a few of the words that the finishing school courses will focus on to ensure that a Pakistani male can get ridiculed by attractive (and not so attractive) women on a continuous basis. To this end, an inter-city paan spitting championship will be held. It’s imperative that this institution school the male youth to be the best paan spitters the world has ever seen. Now, the curriculum for a Men’s Finishing School would cater to a fairly faulty concept of what a stereotypical Pakistani man should be like, coupled with some skills that would endear them to their partners and make them suitable for marital bliss.Įvery Pakistani male should be well versed in the traditional art of spitting paan. But I think now the time has come that equality reign supreme if women can bat their eyes into a finishing school that makes them more womanly, men deserve the same modicum of respect and accessibility to refine and strut their manliness.

Men, on the other hand, are cast adrift onto the world with the motto ‘what doesn’t kill you makes you stronger’. Now, one could hardly contend that the women of Pakistan need these finishing schools (for all those who doubt this assertion, ask your nearest 18-year-old girl to make a half decent chapatti and let me know how the food poisoning treats you). Traditionally, women have been recipients of the Finishing School treatment. What is the purpose of a ‘finishing school’? A place (for people with oodles of money) to polish their etiquette, learn how to cook and perhaps pick up some pretentious mannerisms to hide insecurities and annoy the population at large.
