The movement to support Professor Stephen Baskerville's
courageous expose and relentless call to arms against the fanatical leftist hate
brigades who've been destroying fatherhood, marriage, family, childhood innocence, religious freedom,
parents' rights and human life itself for four decades has now crossed oceans,
continents and national boundaries.
The Petition-Letter supporting his national and international moral and intellectual leadership and urging Patrick Henry College to greatly expand their commitment practical involvement in this war for the family is now in three languages and has just been published on the Internet in Portuguese HERE:
The Petition is available for posting or publication in English, Spanish and Portuguese (please reply for a draft to publish in any of these languages or to discuss translation into any additional language).

Your help in
forwarding this to any pro-life/pro-family leaders, public officials,
academics, pastors,
attorneys, authors, radio hosts, columnists,
etc, will
make this effort easier. I believe it also has great
educational value for those who read Baskerville's speech and perhaps this
letter below also.
___________________________________________
Please sign this urgent letter to the Trustees, Chancellor, President, Provost, Faculty and Students of Patrick Henry College in support of Professor Stephen Baskerville's work and in particular, his recent speech regarding the inter-connected agendas of radical feminists, militant homosexual activists and the rest of the social left (www.scribd.com/doc/168175446/Stephen-Baskerville-Politicizing-Potiphar-s-Wife ), which has provoked anger from the expected quarters.
There are two ways to support Professor Baskerville.
1. Persons whose names, qualifications
and/or titles may add some weight -- those who are in some sense "opinion
leaders": writers, clergy, lawyers, activists, academics, etc.please
read the PETTITION-Letter
below, then (if you wish to sign) REPLY with
your name/title(s)/affiliation(s). (We're just beginning, but already
you'll see below
beneath the PETITION
Letter signatures of prominent persons in several countries.)
- PLEASE ALSO add your name to the open list on line (below and HERE): www.CitizenGo.org/en/209-support-professor-stephen-baskerville%E2%80%99s-fight-family
- Then please also FORWARD this message to your personal and organizational
lists to help us add appropriate
signers (persons who have some kind of
leadership role as academics, authors, activists, clergy, attorneys,
commentators, public officials -- active and retired, etc.) ]
2.
The other way to defend Professor
Baskerville is to sign the on line
list which is for everyone.

To: The Trustees, Chancellor, President, Provost, Faculty and Students of Patrick Henry College
1. We write in support of the College's recent presentation of Professor Stephen Baskerville's address,“Politicizing Potiphar's Wife: The New Ideology”, at the annual Faith and Reason Lecture. His analysis of the threats to civilization, religious freedom, the rule of law, parents' rights and the Natural Human Family is indispensable and is affirmed by many of the most profound observers of the modern age, as well as their predecessors all the way back to ancient times. We regard the resulting outrage and indignation on the part of activists for militant feminism, homosexualism and/or other social agendas that threaten our society and the Natural Human Family as an indication of the power of this message -- a desirable and necessary achievement for which the College and Professor Baskerville are to be congratulated.
We resolutely add that any institution of intellectual, academic and moral integrity ought to be extremely proud to have Professor Baskerville as a senior and especially respected and influential member of its staff. Attacks against his academic and intellectual integrity and the gravitas of his work must be rejected for what they are: disinformation and character assassination arising from desperation, and an all-too-familiar mixture of ignorance and dishonesty.
Clearly, had this address been of anything other than the highest quality it would have garnered nothing more than a snicker here and there.
Professor Baskerville's work is of the greatest strategic importance and immediate urgency and has earned him the great intellectual and personal respect of countless serious and learned persons. He is one of the rare guiding lights of today's "conservatism" and in the vast wasteland of higher education. In fact, his work has been given only a small fraction of the attention that it must receive.
We hope it is not lost on you -- in particular those responsible for charting the future of the College -- that the advancement of Professor Baskerville's work is absolutely necessary to the survival of Patrick Henry College itself in any recognizable and desirable form and to the restoration and defense fundamental parental rights, religious freedom, and freedom to home school. As Professor Baskerville's work has established, the political and "legal" foundation for the de facto eradication of parental rights has been laid in most "advanced" countries in the Western World, primarily by four decades of sweeping and unopposed violations of the legal rights of fathers, always under color of law.
Now he adds to his previous groundbreaking work, his vital analysis of the strategic connections between the interests that have achieved the now very advanced destruction of fatherhood in the "advanced world" and seemingly distinct interest groups who agitate for absolute preeminence of "homosexual rights," abortion and government control of the moral and intellectual formation of all children.
2. We therefore urge those entrusted with charting the future of Patrick Henry College to make an even greater commitment and investment in the kind of work by which Professor Baskerville has distinguished himself in the eyes of a growing international audience.
Specifically, we urge Patrick Henry College to consider hosting an annual international conference dealing ambitiously and fearlessly with the issues to which Professor Baskerville has devoted much of his professional life, and which have not been taken up with anything like adequate commitment by like-minded leaders and institutions. In fact, there is a near total silence about monumental matters to which Professor Baskerville and a small number of other influential persons have committed themselves with impressive perseverance.
Patrick Henry College has an historic opportunity to fill this gaping void, and no doubt Professor Baskerville's reputation and unique understanding of the interconnectedness of numerous major issues can be the basis for attracting the most exceptional participants in such an endeavor as we propose.
