It was actually 29. 29 Boys Killed as Boko Haram Attacks Boarding School in Nigeria - NBC News

Perhaps the media has become too squeamish to report this stuff, I don't know, but there should be something the world can do. And the burden to answer the call should not be taken only by the Americans. Where is the UN in all of this? Or Europe?
The death toll from that attack was actually 59. [video]http://www.clarionproject.org/news/boko-haram-massacres-59-schoolboys-nigeria[/video] Interesting how the kidnapping of these girls is causing vocal global outrage and calls for military intervention, but the massacre of 60 male students by the same group earlier this year didn't evoke anywhere near the same concern.
It's blatant anti-male prejudice. In most Western nations, the comfort and happiness of women is simply valued more than the lives of men, and this is a prime example. Michelle Obama and her husband are complete hypocrites and sexists for not speaking out when those Nigerian boys were massacred earlier this year.
