What's despicable about Schlafly or Connerly?

The point is, consistent with the revisionist concept of "presidents day", why differentiate between the great and the not so great. Just as we celebrate all presidents, why not celebrate all activists? (Unless we subscribe to the politically incorrect view that history is impacted by great individuals, and not just great trends.)

Hey, King was no saint. And we'd have made faster progress without all that hooplah than we have.
