It's too bad that the misogynists in publics and other privates are hiring women for the lower grades only and hiring and promoting men for upper and head positions.

In a Christian society, the place of women would be in the home raising kids, while men work and provide for the family financially. Now I'm not saying that America is a Christian society, because it's not. Maybe 5-10% of the population in America is actually Christian. I'm saying that the Traditional Catholic and the Traditional Protestant view is in support of traditional gender roles. Now I know that makes the heads of most DCUMers explode , but you have to realize that not everyone agrees with you. My main point was that the Heights is a private, all-male school. What they do is NONE Of your buisness. Not every school has to be a Leftist diversity mill.
Do really think that you can make up whatever stats you want and retain any credibility whatsoever? You're full of it.

I'm a mother and had a child at the Heights. This is definitely a true statement. Women were third-class - and by that I mean the mothers because at that time there were no women working in any support staff situation.
Wait, so you tolerated this attitude toward women, or did you pull him out of the school?
Speaking to all the "M's among the DCUMs, who on earth would let their sons go off into an environment that is so dismissive of women? Do the moms have no say in the education of their sons, or do they think this is a good idea? Truly is the world according to Rick Santorum.
They've always been quite respectful of me. Great group of young men working with the boys. If you don't like the school, you certainly don't have to send your boys there. But some people just need to find stuff to feel upset about, huh. Why don't you get off your computer and go help some real-life people who actually need help? We're fine, thanks.

That could also be a result of his upbringing at home...not discounting that the school also plays a role though.

It appears they don't. Check out the faculty list on their website. https://heights.edu/faculty/
There are women employed at the school in non-teaching roles (Librarian, Business Manager, Communications and Fundraising/events), so they are open to hiring women. There are just zero women in teaching positions.
So they all hold support positions. Interesting.
Those are all professional positions. It's not like they are lunch ladies or scrub toilets so that's all the students think women can do!
I did not say they were not professional. They are support positions. These are not leadership positions that would impact the student. A librarian, events coordinator, and business exec. None of these are positions of respect in the students' eyes. Personally I believe having only males as a role models in an academic environment is robbing the children of highly qualified educators who happen to be women and the opportunity to interact in with them in a professional setting.
Maybe your sons wouldn't respect a librarian, but she's beloved at the school where I teach and my stepson has kept in contact with his school librarian for 3 years after graduating. Often, the respect is very genuine because there's no grades impacting the relationship.

My guess is that The Heights feels strongly about male role models in the positions the students come into contact the most -- teachers and coaches. Personally, while a fan of great male role models for boys I wouldn't exclude female role models as teachers/coaches, but I can understand the thinking at least, even if I don't personally share the view.
