Political Quotes

“I support it as a separate program also, not to be buried in another program, because we need to build sensitivity to the rights and abilities of all women, all students. I recall a few years ago when my daughter and my two sons and I were flying, the cabin attendant came by and gave my two sons pilot wings and gave my daughter stewardess badges, and I told the cabin attendant at that time, I am sure my daughter would rather have the pilot wings. That situation exists in our schools yet today, too, where they steer people in a certain direction because of their gender. We have to break down this gender bias, and this program as a separate program is important, because that gender bias still exists in society, and that includes our schools. So it is very, very important that we keep this program as a separate program, not buried in another very good program.”
