Without reference to Doug's Navy career, the Nazi party, Volkswagens, or
Velveeta, it hardly seems possible to formulate a thought on all this, but
perhaps I'll just summarize for clarity: the water seems a little muddy to
me.
The Board of Logos School is contemplating enacting a policy which excludes
women from service on the Board because:
a. They don't wish to be sued for de facto exclusion of women (who have
never served on the Board), and a policy specifically prohibiting them would
provide that protection, and
b. They value women too highly to include them on the School Board,
c. The goal of encouraging fathers to participate in children's education
is best served by excluding women from the School Board.
The Board further does not expect most people to understand this decision,
since it requires a certain level of sophistication to appreciate.
Did I get that right?
