From falsehoods, weakness

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

 

 

I was appalled by Washington University’s recent decision to partner with Planned Parenthood of St. Louis to offer a Family Planning Fellowship Program, in order to train physicians to become abortionists: as reported by Joe Oertwerth on September 15, Lifenews.com,…

Clayton’s school issue was not adequately explained

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

To the Editor:

Opposition to the school bond issue in Clayton (Proposition S) is far more complicated than Bill McClellan would lead one to believe. This bond leaves out the Wydown Middle School, the school most in need of renovation, meaning…

Chancellor Mark Wrighton of Washington University has publicly announced a 5% reduction in his salary beginning January 1. That represents a $25,000.00 annualized drop in compensation (not total remuneration). A second similar drop is scheduled for July 1 which will…

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Considerable space was used to report the selection of Phyllis Schlafly for an honorary degree at Washington University.  However, the St Louis Post Dispatch essentially ignored the other recepients except to merely list their names.

Bestowing honor on Schlafly harm’s university’s reputation

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

Washington University in St. Louis just dropped a few rungs in my estimation from the wannabe ”elite”  college it would like to portray itself to an also-ran when it blesses Phyllis Schlafly with an honorary degree. That gesture applauds and sanctions her backward attitude toward our society.…

Schlafly’s narrow focus on issues is the antithesis of a liberal arts education

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

I am stunned to learn that my alma mater is awarding an honorary degree to Phyllis Schlafly.  In light of her narrow focus on issues and processes that are the antithesis of the principles of liberal arts education, it seems…

An honorary degree for Phyllis Schalfly is an embarrassment

St. Louis Post-Dispatch

I am deeply dismayed to learn that Washington University has announced that an honorary doctorate will be given to self-proclaimed anti-feminist and anti-humanist Phyllis Schlafly at this year’s Spring Commencement.

Schlafly has devoted her life to demagogical grandstanding that is not…
