GO PRIVATE, VMI

Feminism is about to invade VMI and destroy the great heritage of that fine institution. When I speak of feminism, I mean a Bolshevik version of feminism that brings everything down to one level and defies the sound laws of nature and God, in the end destroying true womanhood, motherhood and the proper role of a wife.

Now, because a few little twits want to do ``their thing,'' a whole institution has to be turned upside down, being denied the right to give its young men real training for manhood and the military. Might we next expect that ballet will eventually supplant military drill?

Most of us who have served in the military, particularly during wartime, are outraged at this decision of the U.S. Supreme Court, the majority opinion of which was read by a feminist justice.

Go private, VMI, so you may continue to turn out real generals for the future.
