Social Studies teacher tells female graduates to stay home and make babies

Heck has basically told her she will never be fulfilled as a person, because she is not a wife and mother. I think that is wrong on many levels.

especially on the level where you made up him saying it......why is it liberals refuse to be honest about facts.....
 
It is clear that his message, to both sexes, was that bringing up balanced well adjusted children is vital to society. Any other interpretation is just the usual empty vessels sounding off.

GREENTOWN, Ind. - The commencement speech given at Eastern High School in Greentown, Ind., Sunday inspired some and irked others.
Social studies teacher Peter Heck gave the speech, which encouraged the graduates to put family first, but his comments about women in the workplace caused a stir:
.
"I challenge you to devote yourself to your families and your children. If you choose to have a career, God's blessings upon you. But I challenge you to recognize what the world scoffs at, that your greatest role in your life will be that of wife and mother. The greatest impact you could ever contribute to our world is a loving investment in the lives of your precious children. To solve the problems plaguing our society, we don't need more women CEOs. We need more women as invested mothers."
.
​
His remarks didn't sit well with some who attended the ceremony. "It jumped out at me that he said they shouldn't pursue a professional career," said junior Corey Parton. "Maybe that's not how he meant it. Maybe he does want women to be successful and get a college degree, but it was a little out of place."

Student Zach Patterson's grandmother was not nearly as forgiving. "My grandmother was dead-set against it," Patterson said. "She believes that women should work as hard as they can and still have successful careers in the workplace and not go back to the past where they are just housewives, basically."

In a phone interview with RTV6, Heck defended his comments and said he addressed the male and female students similarly. "I was addressing both the ladies in the audience and the men, stressing to them that the most important role any of us will ever have is the role that we play in our families," Heck said. "I challenged the men by telling them that to solve the problems of our society, we don’t need more millionaire entrepreneur men. We need more men acting as fierce defenders of their wives and providers for their children. "I was simply saying to the women as well that the most important role they will ever have… is investing in the lives of your children and raising them." Heck added that he did not intend to discourage the female students from pursuing careers. "If that's what those girls there in the audience want to do, by golly, that's what they should do," he said.

There were many in the audience who embraced Heck's message. "It was good that he said that," said junior Marina Swaggerty. "Parents need to be there for their kids. Lately people are getting too into their jobs and not caring enough about their kids, and they are failing through high school."

Swaggerty's mother, Lisa Swaggerty, was moved by Heck's message. "Our children at Eastern High School know they need to pursue a career, they need to be family-oriented. That is what this community is about," Lisa Swaggerty said. "I was very appreciative of the morality he talked about with the kids. I thought he was fantastic."

Heck was the senior class sponsor and, according to his website, is a conservative motivational speaker and a radio talk show host.
RTV6 reached out to Superintendent Tracy Caddell to get his thoughts on the speech, but he was not in his office and did not return our calls.

The empty vessels.

Just want to continue to point out that Tom is the biggest misogynist on this board, bar none. He might have some who match him, but none who exceed his hatred and contempt of women.

That statement is about as true as your score of 48 in the science quiz!! The good news though is that you will never bring any children into this world and thank fuck for that.

The bad news is that you raised two sons and no doubt taught them to hate women and to talk about how the sluts in the short skirts are responsible for rape stats in England. Thank God you live there, stay there and keep your progeny with you. That works for me. Your England's problem, not ours. Have a nice day Tom. :)

Isn't it amazing how in Snarlas world a women walking, talking and fucking like a whore is empowerment. Yet putting women on a pedestal and not objectifying them is awful?

The empowerment Snarla preaches for leads to unwanted pregnancy and dependence yet that is what Snarla fights for.

What a dumb twat

My oldest son has an Vietnamese girlfriend whom he met at uni, she is in Saigon for the summer but comes back in September to do a Masters in Business Admin in London. He starts a job with Cisco in London in August. My youngest son is in his second year of a Computer Science degree and is on target for a first. How about your children?
 
Maybe the lefties would have preferred a speech where the speaker suggested the women put out to whoever asks.

Now who could deliver such a speech?

Poet? No he is a flamer
Grind? No he doesn't get laid
I got it. Bill Clinton and Chelsea can introduce him and discuss how sexually empowered he taught her to be in the Oral Office

those statements are both correct....that doesn't mean it isn't a government program....who did you think was operating it, Ford Motor Company?......apparently I was right about the way your mind is functioning....

You clearly said they were not a government service/program, loser. Tell us about the impossibility of equal thirds again too.
 
Watch how this thread continues to play out. As you can see it's unfolding exactly as I said. The guys you can just tell do not do well on the sexual free market, long for the "good old days" when a woman was assigned to them. The guys who are doing plenty good under a system where women are sexually and economically empowered and can pick and choose among a wide variety of candidates, are very comfortable where things are at today.

This is how you easily tell your winners from your losers.

There really isn't even anything here for a woman to comment on. Just a gathering of losers. We won. :)

Yeah, men are defenders and providers and the women are to invest in their children and raising them. Those are the very words he used. It is misogynistic. Besides that it is dismissive to the students that might not want children.
 
And he keeps doing it -

"Ladies and Men" - classic sexist.

Why not ladies and gentlemen, or women and men?

double standard all around.

And the whole

Really? I don't need a man to defend me any more than I should need to be a fierce defender of my husband. If I choose to be in a relationship, I hope we both choose to defend one another. And both parents should provide for their children, not just the men.

Typical paternalistic bullshit. "there there, nice ladies, stay home and let the man deal with everything, don't you worry your pretty little heads about it".

There are so many ways people choose to live their lives today; don't lecture women that they should go back to some model that your church feels is the right one. At least - don't do it at a public school ceremony. Do it in your church all you want. Do it on your blog site. But NOT when you are representing the school at a school function.

obviously, since you've already quoted the posts, everyone knows that you're lying.....you also seem to have mistaken me for Dixie, though the way you've also misphrased that argument makes that irrelevant.......one can have equal thirds if you don't mind a remainder.....if you deny that you've proven Dixie's argument.....that will probably condemn you to a lifetime of inappropriate ridicule......

as an aside, did you know there was a way to remove three 'thirds' from a specific mass and end up with four parts of significantly different mass?........
