Listening to one of the Daughters of Liberty on NPR channelling Betsy DeVos and Phyllis Schlafly. When I used the mic to search correct spelling of Phyllis Schlafly, 'full of shit Schlafly' popped up. 😂😂

Today in Labor History March 22, 1972: U.S. Congress sent the Equal Rights Amendment to the states for ratification. It failed. And to this day, women earn 84% of what men do. One of the exceptions is public education, where teachers’ unions have fought and won the right to collectively bargain salaries based on years of experience, not gender. The first ERA was introduced to Congress in 1923. The 1972 had wide bipartisan support, including by presidents Nixon, Ford and Carter, and seemed destined to pass. However, Phyllis Schlafly mobilized conservative women against the amendment, arguing that it would disadvantage housewives, make them eligible for the draft and cause divorcees to lose custody of their children. This killed the ERA in the 1970s. From 2017-2020, several states have ratified the ERA. However, it is uncertain whether these ratification are legal, since they occurred after the deadlines. Schlafly went on to become a major player in the anti-abortion and anti-feminist and anti-LGBTQ rights movements.

| The College have scheduled a Ouija Board session / séance to conjure the spirit of c. 2003 to give them their fascist, anti-everything good marching orders and talking points.
