As more and more women are becoming enraged and motivated by attempts by the GOP to curtail their rights, more and more women are getting involved in politics.  They are running for office all over the country, in the hopes that by being part of the solution they can stop the spread of the problem.

The GOP are on to us, ladies.

This month in Missouri, the state legislature passed a bill that is aimed to shut down the Sue Shear Institute for Women in Public Life at the University of St. Louis.  This program trains women to enter the public sector, and it is decidedly non-partisan.  However, politics being what they are, the women who go through the program are quite simply more likely to support Democratic policies and agendas.  You know, policies that protect them.

Or, as the local Republicans put it, the Sue Shear Institute, “churns out liberal trainees for Democrats.”

Even if that were true, shutting down an academic program simply because you disagree with the majority of its graduates is… well… un-American.

So in present day America, if you can’t beat ‘em, join ‘em.  But if you’re in Missouri, if they try to join you… cut off their education access.

That won’t backfire at all.
