[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Seems like a lot of you are taking this op-Ed personally! He’s not wrong, although I do take issue with the timing and singling out moms - because there have to be a few examples of dads doing this too even if it’s not as frequent. It could’ve been more balanced.

The point is that we are doing our kids a huge disservice by not stepping back and encouraging independence. [/quote]

The editorial is a strong indicator that Purdue’s administrators are sexist. I would not want to send a smart girl there, based on this. [/quote]

Lol, ok. Read into it whatever you want. And don’t send your DD there based on an op-Ed written by one person. But does he have a valid point or not? You can agree with the message even if you take issue with the delivery. [/quote]

I actually agree with the idea that professors should not have to interact with student parents and yet still won’t send a smart girl to Purdue under this president. The casual sexism in the editorial is it’s own issue and for me a bigger one than what the author meant to talk about. He betrayed a lot by this article. [/quote]

It’s Indiana. And he’s a former Republican governor who was pretty popular. Were you really going to send your smart DD to go there anyway?

Or better yet. Why not let her make the decision. It’s not about you. [/quote]
