Perhaps some understanding of the SUBJECTIVE nature of the post by the ABB would have helped you to understand that Ms. Schalflys' beliefs were under scrunity here not her personally.Calling a public figure to accountability is not mean...it's what we are required to do as American citizens. <BR/><BR/>Another poster made notice of the fact that Ms. Schalflys' focus is on women being in the home while she spends little time there herself. For me, listening to her drivel, it seems like she has been paid by the some misogynist male dominated right wing cult to spread the message to women of being married, continually pregnant (read militant fecundity)and uneducated.AOBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02664333737875522229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10755833.post-6912886504470707752008-05-13T18:35:00.000-05:002008-05-13T18:35:00.000-05:00I was really hoping that was a joke.

(9/13/08)<BR/><BR/>She touts herself as working through college at an arms factory (probably Olin, in East St. Louis region, makes small caliber ammo). Rosie the Riveter, in other words. <BR/><BR/>Less known to people is that she currently has a radio program on education, broadcast on conservative radio station(s), locally KSIV-FM 91.5, 11 or 11:30 AM on Saturday. The basic gist is that all public schools suck irretrievably, home schooling is the best, and buy her phonics teaching materials. Some of her guests start out making sensible comments but all end up with some educational or religious wingnuttery. I actually like listening to it occasionally, just to find out what the next crop of college/graduate students will have in their experience.
