Misogynist political science professor [View all]

Says women belong at home, in the kitchen. Professor Scott Yenor of Boise State University claims independent women are “more medicated, meddlesome and quarrelsome than women need to be.” Also that efforts should not be made to recruit women to fields like engineering.

When asked to comment, Boise State University said, via a statement:

“Boise State University understands that the open exchange of ideas, which is fundamental to education, can introduce uncomfortable and even offensive ideas. However, the university cannot infringe upon the First Amendment rights of any members of our community, regardless of whether we, as individual leaders, agree or disagree with the message. No single faculty member defines what Boise State — or any public university — endorses or stands for."

This is the only "news" story I can find about this but there is an editorial published in the Idaho Statesman about how he really needs to be investigated.
