“Men Working” sign has to be removed because it is not inclusive

From here:

A construction crew working on the campus of Ohio’s Sinclair Community College was forced to halt work until it removed a “Men Working” sign that was deemed “sexist” by a college administrator. A spokesman for the college told National Review Online that the incident, which occurred on November 21, stemmed from the school’s “deep commitment to diversity,” and that it takes that commitment “very seriously.”

In the wake of the incident, the school acknowledged its request may have been over the top, but stood by its commitment to diversity, saying in a statement that, “while it may not have been necessary to suggest that work be stopped, Sinclair stands by its commitment to providing an environment that is inclusive and non-discriminatory.”

The men had to stop work until the offending sign was removed.

Does that mean that, unlike the more snobbish women bishops-manqué in the Church of England, the educated ladies of Ohio’s Sinclair Community College are determined to see women breaking through the hard-hat barrier in order to fulfil their destiny as menial construction workers? Probably not.
