I love this post. I had never heard of this school. What a wonderful role model your grandmother was, no doubt you have her same fire.

And if it is wealthy girls that are being hurt, no doubt there are some wealthy parents that helped vote this monster in. Maybe this will wake them up.

“Why put a girl through that much math?” had me snort laughing because we’ve all heard that. Girls don’t need that much education to be wife and mothers, to cook and clean, and “perform” for their men. Sadly, too many hold those beliefs today. In 2025. And it’s not just the Heritage Foundation.

This is great! Thanks for your post and for your activism. For people in Virginia/Maryland/DC, there is a "No Kings Day" protest at the Capital, this Monday at noon. Union Square/Capital Reflection pool.

All students! Sorry ladies…we cannot remain relevant in R&D and compete in world markets if we allow moronic agents (whatever their BS) to curtail education, especially STEM.

Go, Trixie! She'd definitely be proud of her takes-no-shit great-granddaughter!
