A stunning observation
Feminism as imposed by the left is the triumph of The Frankfurt School and a disaster for the country and for women.

Fr. John Hollowell, a priest and blogger from Indiana, saw a disturbing sign in the hallways of Northview High School in Brazil, IN.
At first when I walked past the sign I thought to myself – “Oh, cool, they’re starting to catch on that our population levels are at a critical phase and that we’re heading for a demographic winter because no one is having kids anymore; they’re trying to get the word out that our population growth is trending towards a crisis….”
Then I literally had a sick feeling in my stomach when I realized I had the sign completely wrong.
In 1968, the book The Population Bombwas released and predicted, among other things, mass famine and death from starvation due to overpopulation. The book initially claimed that there was no possible way for India to feed its population of 200 million. Since the book was published, India’s population has grown to over a billion, and while malnourishment levels are unacceptably high, it is mostly due to corruption and and government ineffectiveness, not overpopulation. The mass starvation due to food shortages never came to fruition–food production actually increasedfaster than ever before.
Despite the completely wrong predictions in The Population Bomb, the idea that the world is becoming grossly overpopulated has remained in the public’s mind. This has led to a shockingly low fertility rate in the western world–almost all of Europe is not reproducing at replacement-level rates.
It is not a school’s job to dictate family size to its students, but I am not at all surprised by this sort of rhetoric. This ridiculous project is grounded in junk science and overly-hysterical predictions, and should not be presented as fact to students.
The reference was very evidently towards inner-city women who make a living from producing another generation of welfare recipients, not you or anybody like you.
If inner-city women who make poor life choices can be considered less than human, so can I if I don’t measure up to some standard.
A stunning observation

And with every drop of blood drained away from us we will be condemned as racists for trying to staunch the flow. Most blood donors will simply go Galt as they turn white.
Agreed, especially with regard to the Left’s imposition.
Yep, but even here on Free Republic we have people supporting the liberals in their population control efforts.
