Teddy Dumps the Owl
Ted Kennedy, chastised by Republicans for being a member of an all-male club, has announced his intention to resign from the Owl, a Harvard final club.
I admire Teddy quite a bit, particularly for his courage at the funeral of my old boss, but sometimes he can frustrate. "I'm not a member; I continue to pay about $100," Kennedy told the Boston Herald, which then added, "He then said of being a member in a club that discriminates against women, 'I shouldn't be and I'm going to get out of it as fast as I can.'"
Um...Senator...if you're not a member, you don't have to "get out of it." So, obviously, you are.
I doubt this will happen, but Kennedy's resignation could reinvigorate the conversation about Harvard final clubs.
Here's the bottom line: Gentlemen, if Skull and Bones can go co-ed, so can—and should—you.
