When I woke up this morning and saw the front page of the paper, I couldn't believe it. The Citadel now has to admit women or loose its funding.
I am a woman, and I believe in equal rights. But I do not understand why females are fighting so hard to get into a male school.
I am from Lynchburg, where we have Randolph Macon Women's College, the key word being Women's. I would like to see a few males get together and fight ``the system'' to force RMWC and other all-female colleges to admit males.
The Citadel should have been given the right to remain all-male. Women all over the world would have a fit if a male tried to get into a women's college.
I hope some males will fight back.
