OUTCRY ffont page AI I ' "Men should be leaders, both 'In the community and in their households," Nordlander. a 'Republican, was quoted. "It's Iheir God-given responsibility." Among some of the more out raged women were female 'African-American leaders, who have often struggled to the top under the double yoke of sexism <ind racism. "That man is operating in &.C.. before Christ." said former East Ward alderman Virginia toewell. who is chairperson of the Mathematics Department at VVSSU and heads GF:N Realty. "He is obviously out of tune and touch with the mood of the coun try. It is so sad that a man who is as young as he is can make such unchristian statements that women should be inferior." "It's really difficult to believe that an elected official could make those statements about the leadership ability of women in this community," said Forsyth County Commissioner Earline Parmon, who is also the founder and director of LIFT Academy. "All citizens of this community, including women, are equal, and women should not be considered second-class citizens." lola Dobson. a retired educa tor. was also incredulous that Nordlander could hold such a view. "It is ridiculous in this day and time that an elected official would have this view of women." said Dobson. "The day of women being inferior is past." Almost all of the women polled said they would actively support a campaign against Nordlander's reelection He is running against Democrat I red Terry. School board member Geneva Brown supported Wood and her past work as mayor. Commenting on Nordlander's penchant for cit ing biblical authority, she pointed out that the Bible was also used to justify slavery. "When somebody uses a Bible and uses God in a sense that makes God prefer some people over others. I view that person as suspect." said Brown She called for voters to throw Nordlander out of office. Dr. Irene Hairston. former vice chair of the city and county planning board for 16 years and now chairperson of the Winston Salem l ibraries board of trustees, also connected Nordlander's statement to other prejudices she feels the alderman holds. "This is another prime exam ple of Mr. Nordlander's supreme intolerance of certain groups of people." said Hairston. "He should never be accorded the privilege of serving the people in any capacity." "Women have always and will continue to be driving forces in leadership roles." Hairston added. Nordlander. when interviewed Tuesday by Chronicle staff writer Bridget Evarts. refrained from comments on female leadership.
