Seminary to Offer Homemaking Emphasis

Did you see this news story last Friday?

With the start of school this fall Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary in Ft. Worth, Texas--and one of the nation's largest--will offer coursework in how to cook and sew.

"SWBTS is introducing a new academic program in homemaking as part of an effort to establish what its president calls biblical family and gender roles. It will offer a bachelor of arts in humanities degree with a 23-hour concentration in homemaking. The program is only open to women."
Several men and women have sent me the link. Here's what one wrote about a conversation over lunch with a friend:

"I will spare you all the bold type and capital letters, but suffice it to say that this got my goat... Then we got around to this article, and I found myself (almost uncontrollably ) clambering atop a huge soapbox. When my hands grasped [the friend's] forearm, I thought perhaps we might better move to dessert and let my blood pressure drop a few points."
What do you think? Agree? Disagree? C'mon, tell me what you think.
