What evidence do you have to support your claim of "smart women aplenty that get squeezed out of the sciences because of traditional bias in the classroom"?
Furthermore, you are missing the point of the article. The article is alleging there are fewer women in these fields not because of gender discrimination but rather because fewer women than men choose to major in and pursue careers in math and science. The article even cites a research study conducted by an individual with a Ph.D to support its claim voluntary choices of women not to major or pursue careers in these fields, as opposed to gender discrimination, is the cause for more men in these areas.
The fact that fewer women than men major in science and engineering is the result of their own voluntary choices, not sexism or sex discrimination by schools, notes researcher John Rosenberg, the

Based on this evidence, the result of Obama's grand scheme to appeal to female voters would A.) Not result in more women in these fields and by limiting men B.) Result in an overall reduction of people receiving an education and degree in math and science.
