[Vision2020] Liberal Thinking

[Ted Moffett]

Ben et. al.

It might seem odd to you that someone would see sexism in the fact that an 
option for educational or personal enrichment was offered to boys but not to 
girls.  Perhaps this is because you have yet to enter the bizarre and 
foreign realm of LIBERAL THINKING!  Gasp!  You see, to the crazed hysterical 
mind of the liberal, all educational opportunities and activities of 
personal enrichment should be offered totally equally across the board to 
men and women with no exceptions.  Thus men get to take home economics, and 
women can play football, and everyone will be happy!

To not joyfully and gleefully offer boxing and lacrosse to girls who may 
wish to join the Bonham sports clubs, when there is even the slightest hint 
that this club is associated with Logos school, well, this is an injustice 
that burns at the soul!  Private clubs do have more control over being 
exclusive, of course, though those darn liberals are chipping away at that 
great tradition.

But let's not forget both Moscow High and the U of I offer football only to 
men!  That is, unless there have been some women under all that padding that 
I have not heard about.  Onward with the crusade:  let's make sure women 
have the same opportunities as men to make idiots out of themselves in the 
mud playing football and risking spinal injury, brain injury, knee and joint 
problems that will haunt them the rest of their lives, that is if they are 
not outright killed on the football field, which happens to a few high 
school students just about every year!

I've often thought that one reason women are just better than men is because 
they do not have to suffer through the moronic desensitizing brutality of 
violent sports to prove themselves.
