Judas weren’t so bad…
Read all about him in a new translated Gnostic Text. It seems he was Jesus’ fave and has quite a bit of bad press.

Out Of The Mouths Of Babes
Carrie Lukas in National Review Online:
For years, the only way that a university could inoculate itself from Title IX litigation was to have athletic participation mirror enrollment. In other words, if 58 percent of students were women, then 58 percent of athletes had to be women. Universities trying to meet this criterion struggled to attract female athletes. But, all too often, they resorted to the surefire method of balancing the equation: eliminating men’s teams. More than 90 universities cut men’s track and field, and more than 20 cancelled wrestling.If similar standards were applied to academic departments, university biology and accounting programs would be forced to try desperately to attract young men to the major. But if they fell short, they could opt to expel women to make the numbers balance. Engineering programs would face the inverse problem: attracting women and cutting men.
Gender warriors may be willing to take this deal. Feminists hardly celebrate that women gravitate toward majors like education that lead to lower-paying jobs after graduation. They may embrace a policy that pushes women toward more prestigious careers. But if academic departments are fair game, then why shouldn’t similar standards be applied to enrollment?
If Title IX were applied to enrollment, schools would face the uncomfortable proposition of trying to attract more men or artificially reduce women’s enrollment to reach the magic proportional balance. To achieve enrollment parity today, more than one million women would have to be expelled from colleges and universities around the country.
Harry at Chase Me, Ladies notes that relief is galloping across the horizon: (Warning: “Man-in-street” interviews)
Given that most Social Studies curricula these days is an unrelieved bitchfest of how The Man done po’ po’ Womyn wrong, you’d think that the term would have been slightly familiar. Or maybe they’re just tuned it out entirely.
You won’t be surprised to learn that the cameraman and interviewer are the ones who got in trouble for their little experiment. Story “target=”new”>here.
