DON'T BE OUTGUNNED BY THE RIGHT
WING
September 26, 1997
"Sexual harassment exists throughout
the Army, crossing gender, rank, and
racial lines," according to a scathing
report released two weeks ago by Secretary
of the Army Togo West. Sexual discrimination
is even more common than sexual harassment.
The House Military Personnel Subcommittee
is expected to hold hearings beginning
October 1 on the report. Even though
the Army itself reports that women
do better in mixed training (and men
do as well or better), opponents of
women in the military will be out
in forces to say the Army should change
alright - by banning women or going
to segregated training. Tell committee
members you're not buying -- the Army
should clean up its act and stop
discriminating against female
soldiers. Contact Chair Steve Buyer
