That doesn't mean we don't support it.
It means we disagree with that legal document. The spirit might be good, but if hte way it was written is wrong, it might mean something else entirely that we _don't_ want.
That is whats gotten Mr Lott in trouble. He disagreed with the Equal Rights Act a long time ago because it was going to cause problems. This does _not_ make him racist.
(For any who don't know hte problems, I'll list one here)
If a school has a boys team of any kind (football, baseball, soccer, wrestling...) it has to have a complimentary womens team. However, if the school lacks women interested in that sport (lets say there is no woman at all who likes wrestling in this pretend school), then it can't have a mens team for it either no matter how many are interested in it. In this case, our school has no mens wrestling team because there isn't enough female support for a womans team.
How do we know Mr Lott didn't vote against the act to keep these kinds of problems from occuring? |
