Phyllis Schlafly is getting an honorary degree from Washington University. Many are protesting, so I was curious as to what everyone on here thinks.

Right Wing Watch: Schlafly Reiterates View That Married Women Cannot Be Raped By Husbands
and here are some lovely quotes from her:
Bilingualism Is The Wrong Way To Go (August 17, 1995)
"You can't be an American if you don't speak English."
Open Letter to VMI Alumni (June 11, 1996)
"The radical feminists just can't stand it that any institution in America is permitted to motivate and train real men to manifest the uniquely masculine attributes. Feminists want to gender-neutralize all men so they can intimidate and control them."
Academia's War Against Marriage (November 19, 1997)
"Adult, educated women are now demanding that the government (or plaintiff attorneys) protect them from "date rape" and "sexual harassment" in situations that, in the pre-feminist era, unsophisticated high school girls could handle with confidence, knowing that a No would be respected."
G.I. Jane Is a Role-Model for Evil (September 10, 1997)
"The feminists have not given us progress for women; they are turning men into the stereotype of the caveman who drags his woman by her hair."
Lessons from the Paula Jones Case (April 15, 1998)
"The biggest lesson we learn from all this is to beware of men who talk about "women's rights" and boast that they are male feminists… The lifestyle of promiscuous men demands a way to kill off the evidence… It comforts the conscience of the promiscuous man to mouth the mantra that abortion is a woman's 'choice.'"
What Caused Columbine? (May 12, 1999)
"We are paying a terrible price for allowing public school curricula to teach students to create 'their own value system' instead of respecting moral laws such as 'Thou shalt not kill.'"
Kyoto Collapses In The Hague (Dec. 6, 2000)
"The ideology behind this radical objective is to subordinate our standard of living, which is largely based on the use of fossil fuels, to the supremacy of global ecology. Or, as Al Gore says in the title of his book, force us to put 'Earth in the Balance.'"
What's Hiding Behind The Student Visa Scandal (December 12, 2001)
"Has any student in your family had a hard time gaining admission to an elite U.S. college? How does it make you feel to know that 547,667 places in U.S. colleges were occupied by foreign students in the academic year just ended... Student visas should also be conditioned on the applicant's ability to speak English and a sworn disavowal of terrorism."
Feminism Meets Terrorism (January 23, 2002)
"One of the unintended consequences of the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001 was the dashing of feminist hopes to make America a gender-neutral or androgynous society… September 11th called for all the masculine strength that strong men could muster. Firefighting is clearly a job for real men to do the heavy-lifting, not affirmative-action women."
Why We Must Protect Marriage (Dec. 10, 2003)
"Whining about discrimination, the gay lobby is trying to position the Massachusetts ruling as a logical expansion of the civil rights movement. It isn't. No one has the right to marry whomever he wants. Gays can already get marriage licenses on exactly the same terms as anyone else."
The Day After Tomorrow (June 9, 2004)
"Global warming isn't science; it's leftist propaganda to promote global regulation of our economy."
Feminists On The Warpath Get Their Man (Feb. 16, 2005)
"When will American men learn how to stand up to the nagging by the intolerant, uncivil feminists whose sport is to humiliate men? Men should stop treating feminists like ladies, and instead treat them like the men they say they want to be."
Does Feminism Control The Bush Administration? (Apr. 19, 2006)
"The feminists want a quota-imposed unisex society..."
Advice To College Students: Don't Major In English (October 3, 2007)
"English departments are the most radicalized of all departments, more so than sociology, psychology, anthropology, or even women's studies… That's why it was no surprise that Cho Seung-Hui, the murderer of 32 students and teachers at Virginia Tech, was an English major. "
