In the year 2006, some people are still finding proof in the Bible that those uppity women should just keep their place:
LaBouf and the church board fired Mary Lambert, 81, earlier this month in a letter that cited the scriptural qualifications for Sunday School teachers, Lambert said.
"They quote First Timothy Two, 11-14: A woman should learn in quietness and full submission. I do not permit a woman to teach or to have authority over a man, she must be silent," Lambert said, reading from the letter.
After they were called on it, church officials said the stuff about "women teaching men" was only a small part of why she was sacked. There were other reasons, but "Christian charity" prevented them from making public accusations. Smearing by unspecified and therefore unrefutable accusations -- yes, that's very Christian.
