Dear Visionaries:
Surely no one is surprised that the school board of Logos School is composed 
of men.  The format and ideology isn't very original. For example:
"... Nazis believed in the idea of `separate spheres' for men and women.  
Whereas men were expected to work and fight for the Reich, women were 
expected to work and fight for the family.  The attitude towards women was 
summarized by the slogan Kinder, Kirche, Kuche, (children, church, kitchen). 
Portions of a speech Hitler delivered at the Nuremberg rally on 8 September 
1934 included the following: 
"If one says that man's world is the State, his struggle, his readiness to 
devote his powers to the service of the community, one might be tempted to 
say that the 
world of women is a smaller world. For her world is her husband, her family, 
her children, and her house....Providence has entrusted to women the cares of 
that world which is peculiarly her own, and only on the basis of this smaller 
world can the man's world be formed and built up. These two worlds are never 
in conflict. They are complementary to each other, they belong together as 
man and woman belong together...Every child that a woman brings into the 
world is a battle, a battle waged for the existence of her people. Man and 
woman must therefore mutually value and respect each other when they see that 
each performs the task which nature and providence have ordained. And from 
this separation of the functions of each there will necessarily result this 
mutual respect...Woman, because she springs from that root which is the prime 
cause of life, is also the most stable element in the maintenance of a 
people... Man is often far too mentally unstable to find his way immediately 
to these fundamental truths...We National Socialists have for many years 
protested against bringing women into political life; that life is in our 
eyes unworthy of her..."

Of course, Doug Wilson claims a biblical authority for cannily similar 
"rules", but I don't think the larger community need worry, unless he starts 
to sport a mustache.
