What was Wash U thinking? With Phyllis Schlafly’s philosphy, women would not be encouraged to go to a higher learning institute, such as Wash U.
This is degrading the honorary degree. It’ll be worthless now.

Here’s one of Phyllis Schlafly’s quotes:
“The outburst by feminist professors simply confirms the stereotype . that they are too emotional to handle intellectual or scientific debate.”

Phyllis Schlafly does not deserve an Honorary Degree

WASHU could burn to the ground tomorrow and I wouldn’t shed a tear.

Azz-kissing the liberal elites in this town does not make one sophisticated, despite what ‘Average Jane’ thinks.

Having no respect for traditional values does not make one ‘progressive’. It makes one an intolerant punk.

And so once again we see the liberal ‘pot’ calling a conservative ‘kettle’ black.

Typical.

The granting of an honorary degree really shows me nothing. It’s just a piece of paper. The pathetic response by liberal law professors and their students shows me alot.

These liberal Wash U. professors and students contempt for Mrs. Schafly ends right before the last zero on Mrs. Schafly’s endowment and grant checks. Or any one elses views they find repulsive. I doubt they will ever advocate the return of one single dime……

Dogs sometimes bark at the hands that feed them, but they rarely ever bite them off! I think that’s Robert Bork’s view of law school professors. The man is a genius. Too bad Wash U won’t hire him, having him on staff would definitely put the “elite” back in that institution. Just having him use the bathroom there would bring it up a notch.

Let’s hope our “pro-life” Phyllis Schafly finds time during her acceptance speech to congratulate the university for the procurement process used to obtain donated blastocysts to research somatic stem-cells SCNT from human embryos….

Wash U - congratulations on awarding the honerary degree to someone who has done something in her life, besides whine.

This woman, from a “life” perspective, has accomplished an awful lot. And for those of you who think she’s anti-woman, I think your wrong. I think she very progressive, but she wants basic core attributes to prevail. there’s nothing wrong with that in this day and age of instant dummified gratification and stupidification.

I think many of her comments have been targeted by the drive-by media and greatly taken out of context by the liberal dumkauffs.

Get a life whiners.

I have to wonder, would we hear the plaintive cry of a wounded beast from Washington University students, faculty and alumnae if Hugo Chavez or Kim Jung Il was awarded an honorary degree?

Paa..lease. Is that the best you got Sage.
You left out Bin Laden.

Critics of Washington U’s action do well to bear in mind that a well rounded education requires the discussion and debate of ALL points of view. That’s what a liberal arts education demands.

Yes, you MUST provide room for all sorts of views, progressive or not. Sometimes, you have to even honor those who have become national icons of certain viewpoints not approved of by the drab and shabby Maoist Feminists that find their only refuge in ivory towers! Think about it, how fun would it be if the only honoray degrees went to the Catherine MacKinnons or Bella Abzugs of this world!?

Patricus…Good point. When will Washington University honor Nancy Keenan, President of NARAL, for protecting and defending the American values of freedom and privacy.
