Indiana Teacher Counsels Female Graduates To Be Mothers Not CEOs

In early June Peter Heck, a social studies teacher in Greentown Indiana, gave a controversial speech and pissed off a lot of people who are not knuckle-dragging Neanderthals.

An excerpt:


“Ladies, I challenge you to a life of rebellion. To recognize that your body is a temple that is deserving of honor, not indiscretion. I challenge you to be women of virtue, finding beauty, not in how many unprincipled men you can attract, but rather finding beauty in modesty and self-respect. I challenge you to devote yourself to family, to your children.

If you choose to have a career, God’s blessings upon you, but I challenge you to recognize what the world scoffs at…that your greatest role of your life will be that of wife and mother. That the greatest impact you will ever contribute to our world is a loving and devoted investment into the lives of your precious children. To solve the problems plaguing our society, we don’t need more women as CEOs, we need more women as invested mothers.”

PETER HECK biographies


Peter W. Heck lives in Kokomo, Indiana with his wife Jenny, their daughters, Addison and Bristol, and their son Grayson.

Peter graduated cum laude from Indiana Wesleyan University in 2001 with a Bachelor of Science in both Social Studies Education and Political Science. Then after compiling a perfect academic record, he earned his Masters in Political Science from Ball State University in 2007.

Peter has been a public high school teacher since the fall of 2001, teaching courses in American government and American history, having won numerous regional and state awards for his efforts. Additionally, in the summer of 2004, Peter founded a media productions corporation, Attaboy Productions, Inc., in coordination with the launch of his radio program.

Between 2004 and 2013, The Peter Heck Radio Show was heard on over 200 radio stations across the United States in cooperation with the American Family Radio network (1350 AM WIOU Kokomo was the program’s flagship station). In the summer of 2013, Peter ended his self-titled daily talk show and began The 414 Project - a weekly talk show focusing on training Christian rebels in an increasingly corrupt culture. The 414 Project airs on multiple radio stations.

In 2011, Attaboy Productions, Inc. published Peter’s first book, 78: How Christians Can Save America. After selling thousands of copies and making live presentations of 78 around the country, Peter’s second book, BELiEVE: A Confrontation with Christianity’s Biggest Challenges, was published in 2012.

Peter is also a freelance opinion columnist who has been published in The Washington Times, as well as papers in 14 states. His work also appears online at The American Thinker and OneNewsNow.

What a fucking idiot.

Who does this woman think is continuing to have children? Men?

Wife and mother were not the greatest roles of my life. (sorry kids) and anyway far as "Wife" does this mean my husbands greatest role is "husband" and "father"?

Does she really think this is how a healthy society functions?

Total fail.

Buy christian shithead's attaboy productions vanity books and you won't suck anymore. That's how that scumbag fights corruption.

Reading his silly ass nonsense doesn't piss me off as much as not being able to put my hands around his throat and getting in a slap or two across his unprincipled mouth.
